🇨🇳 What They're Doing:
The individuals behind Rigang Metal Group and their web of affiliated companies are not only involved in fraudulent export practices — they are likely in violation of Chinese criminal tax laws.
 
Here’s how they’re doing it:

• They instruct foreign buyers to send payments to personal or offshore accounts, most commonly in Hong Kong.

• These payments are never declared through the registered company’s Chinese bank accounts.

• By doing this, they evade China’s VAT (Value-Added Tax) on export sales — a serious criminal offense under Chinese law.

• They also issue fake or partial invoices that don't match the true value or volume of shipments.

  ​

⚖️ Why This Is a Jailable Offense in China:
Under Chinese tax law, this is not a civil violation — it's criminal. Penalties include:

• Cancellation of business licenses

• Multi-million yuan fines

• Asset seizure

• Imprisonment of company directors, shareholders, or legal representatives

 
Chinese law (Article 201 of the Criminal Law of the PRC) states that deliberate tax evasion above a threshold may result in up to 7 years of imprisonment.
​
🕵️‍♂️ What We’re Doing About It:

• Compiling bank records and payment trails showing offshore transfers

• Archiving invoice mismatches across different shipments

• Documenting company registration and shareholder irregularities

  ​

These will be submitted to:
