《香港01》母企創辦人于品海 被建銀國際旗下公司追債 高院頒令破產
Yu Pun-hai, founder of South Sea Holdings, the parent company of media outlet Hong Kong 01, was petitioned for bankruptcy by CCB International Overseas Limited in October 2023. Acting High Court Judge Tong Si-pui on Tuesday (26th), after hearing submissions from both sides, rejected an application by Yu’s side to adjourn the case, and ordered him to be adjudged bankrupt and to pay the costs. Written reasons will be issued later. The petitioner was CCB International Overseas Limited, represented by Senior Counsel Shek Wing-tai. The respondent was Yu Pun-hai, who did not appear in court and was represented by barrister Chan Ngou-him. According to information from listed companies on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, CCB International Overseas Limited is wholly and beneficially owned by CCB International (Holdings) Limited, while CCB International is a wholly owned subsidiary of China Construction Bank. Hong Kong 01 published a statement on its website in the afternoon saying that Yu did not hold any position in the company. The case only concerned Yu’s personal financial arrangements, and “Hong Kong 01 will not be affected and the company will continue to operate as usual.”
