Financial leaders tiptoe around Beijing′s asset scrutiny, hail Hong Kong′s wealth boom (SCMP)

Global financial leaders who gathered in Hong Kong this week largely sidestepped Beijing's offshore trust tax crackdown, a lingering near-term hurdle for the city's otherwise expanding wealth management industry.
