In August 2022, Xiao was sentenced in China to 13 years in prison for fraud and corruption.

Xiao was seized from his room in the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong on January 28, 2017, during the Chinese New Year, by plainclothes Chinese security guards who were not formally permitted to work there by Hong Kong authorities. Then, to circumvent border controls, Xiao was taken by boat to mainland China.

Although the Chinese government has not made an official statement about Xiao’s incarceration, it was alleged that Xiao had close ties to numerous family of party officials and leaders, whose funds he had managed. Xiao was particularly linked to the so-called Jiang Zemin group, which also included the offspring of Zeng Qinghong and Zhou Yongkang. [Reference needed]

XIAO JIANHUA INVESTMENTS & BUSINESSES TILL DATE

Beijing Beida Tomorrow Resources Technology

Beijing Beida Tomorrow Resources Technology, a business that Peking University Resources Group held 20% of, served as the foundation of Xiao’s corporate empire. The Baotou Municipal Government sold the corporation a 47% share in an intermediate parent company of Baotou Tomorrow Technology (formerly known as Baotou Yellow River Chemical Industry) in 1999.

Beijing Beida Tomorrow Resources Technology also had the authority to propose the chairman of the board, the general manager of the intermediate parent company, and three of the business’s five directors. The parent company of the intermediary was changed to Baotou Beida Tomorrow Resources Technology. While Zhou Hongwen, his wife, served as president of Beijing Beida Tomorrow Resources Technology in 1999, Xiao Jianhua was selected as the chairman of Baotou Tomorrow Technology.

Tomorrow Holding

Xiao’s cousin, Xiao Weihua, reportedly owns 29% of Tomorrow Holding, according to a 2015 annual report released by Baotou Tomorrow Technology. According to rumors, Xiao Jianhua does not directly own his assets; rather, he does so through his wife or family members. One source claims that Xiao and his wife had a 50% joint ownership interest in Tomorrow Holding at one time.

Shanghai Ace (SSE: 600652) was a company that Tomorrow Holding and its affiliated entities owned 5.75% of the stock of. Even though only seven new directors were elected that year, and the board had only 13 members overall, Xiao Jianhua and his wife Zhou Hongwen, along with four other members of Tomorrow Holding, were chosen as Shanghai Ace’s new directors. Deng Jingshun, the new chairman of Shanghai Ace and later vice-president of Tomorrow Holding, was the only new director who appeared to have no relation to Tomorrow Holding. The action gave Tomorrow Holding an absolute majority on the listed company’s board.

But in 2012, owners other than Beijing Beida Jade Bird sold a 36% interest in Zhengyuan Investment to Tomorrow Holding. Xiao Weihua owns 5% of Baotou Beipu Industry, which is held by Zhengyuan Investment, while the remaining 95% is owned by Baotou Tomorrow Technology and 34.60% and 95%, respectively, by Zhengyuan Investment.

Numerous Tomorrow Holding companies, including Huaxia Life, Tianan Life Insurance, Tianan Property Insurance, New Times Trust, Yi’An Property Insurance, and New China Trust, have since been taken over by Chinese regulators, including the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission.
