U.S. intelligence agencies are leading an investigation into the overseas assets of Xi Jinping’s family and those of 25 other current and former CCP Politburo members, and plan to publish the related report by the end of the year.
Liu Jianchao, Minister of the International Department of the CCP Central Committee, has been taken away to assist in an investigation. He is considered the person within the Party who best understands the layout of the overseas assets of the power elite.
In March 2025, CK Hutchison Holdings, owned by Li Ka-shing, attempted to sell assets comprising 43 ports in 23 countries worldwide, valued at a total of $22.8 billion, to the US-based BlackRock consortium.
