Prominent Hong Kong politicians and businessmen named in new round of Panama Papers leaks | South China Morning PostAnother focus in the latest round of revelations is on nationality – a sensitive issue in a city where holders of key public offices are bound to explain a non-Chinese nationality.Lau Ming-wai, son of property tycoon Joseph Lau Luen-hung and chairman of the Committee on Youth, was revealed to have said he was a British national on one of the leaked documents. In response, Lau said he had no plan to switch nationality – despite his having to engage the increasingly anti-mainland youth of Hong Kong.
The same nationality was given by Lau Wong-fat, kingpin of rural powerhouse Heung Yee Kuk, who held three offshore companies.
