Background

edit

In 2018, China Renaissance was listed on the Main Board of Hong Kong Stock Exchange.[2]

In February 2023, the BBC and other sources reported that Bao had been missing for two days and they were unsure of his whereabouts.[3][4][5] The disappearance has caused the stock of China Renaissance to drop by 50 percent,[6] though the company said in a statement that Operations would "continue normally".[6] Later, the company announced that Bao was taken by the Chinese authorities as a part of an investigation targeting Bao's former colleague and the company's former president, Cong Lin.[7]

In February 2024, Bao resigned from all of his roles at China Renaissance.[8]

The company has offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and New York.[9]
