Key legal question
Whether the company proved that its property-development financing was not subject to the foreign-acquisition authorization regime
Extracted holding
No. The company failed to provide sufficiently verifiable evidence for the full financing of the land purchases and construction, so the authorities could refuse the principle authorizations.
Extracted reasoning
For a large development sold in PPE to foreign buyers, the authority may require proof of the financing of the entire project to determine whether foreign-subject persons contribute and create a dependency relationship under the law. General statements and partial bank credits were insufficient.
