There are no such passporting arrangements. As mentioned above, financial services in China generally require approvals from competent Chinese regulators.
For completeness, China has a foreign exchange control regime in place, and such foreign currency and exchange control is rigid. Foreign exchange control applies to the foreign exchange receipts and payments or business activities of organizations and individuals in China, foreign establishments in China, and expatriates in China. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) and its branches/sub-branches are the main regulator and are responsible for foreign exchange control in China.
Under the current foreign exchange control regime in China, cross-border fund transfer is divided into two categories: (a) current account items; and (b) capital account items. Depending on whether the relevant cross-border fund transfer is related to a current account or capital account items, cross-border fund transfers are subject to different administration and supervision treatments.
Current account items are usually of a recurrent nature, examples of which are payments for foreign trade, cross-border supply of services, and remittance of profits and dividends to outside of China. Current account payments and currency conversion in relation to these payments may be made at any licensed foreign exchange bank against the presentment of the relevant supporting materials of the underlying transactions for which payments are to be made. Examples of these materials are purchase contracts and invoices. For current account item transactions, it is essential and a general principle that there should be: (a) genuine and legitimate underlying transaction and accordingly, genuine payment or receipt need; and (b) the amount paid or received should be consistent with the underlying transaction.
Capital account items, on the other hand, are generally related to investments or loans, including capital investments, foreign debts and securities investments. Unlike current account items, capital account payments usually require registration or filing with SAFE or handling bank designated by SAFE before these may be made.
It is now also permissible to make cross-border fund transfers in RMB. In general, the exchange control regime (such as the requirement of genuineness for current account item transactions) applies to cross-border fund transfers in RMB as well.
