However, she didn’t just move her company offshore. She did the same to herself, applying for fast-track citizenship in the Caribbean state of St. Kitts & Nevis (pop. 50,000) under an investment scheme. Three months later a passport was delivered to her office in Beijing. In June 2012 Zhang filed for a share offering in Hong Kong as the foreign principal of South Beauty Investment Co. Ltd., a Cayman-registered company that earns its revenues in mainland China.”
