On September 2, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) charged Li Rong, a 38-year-old director of Zhong Sheng Technology, with offering a RMB 2,000 bribe to a bank employee to help reactivate her company’s dormant bank account. Li allegedly made the offer through a communication app in August 2019 after her initial attempts to provide necessary documents were unsuccessful. The employee reported the bribe, leading to Li’s arrest in August 2024. Li has been released on bail and is scheduled to appear in court on September 4. HSBC cooperated fully with the investigation, and the ICAC continues to urge the public to avoid bribery and report any suspicious activities.
