China is reaching beyond its borders to tax wealth held offshore, with a 20% levy on income from offshore trusts putting pressure on wealthy Chinese with assets across global financial hubs. The move signals a much wider push by Beijing to bring overseas wealth back within the reach of China’s tax system.
