If you want VCs then it's always the US and should always be a Delaware corp.

For non-VC funded companies HK is great, allows for tax minimization, minimal headaches, access to international banks and potential access to Chinese market if that is important for your business.

It’s virtual impossible to operate a HK or Singapore LTD these days as a “US person”.

Fair. I'm not a US person so I don't run into these issues. I still have to submit appropriate docs for FACTA etc because I do business with US companies.

Reports of HKs death are greatly exaggerated.

What you see in the media is one thing, the reality on the ground (for business at least) is very much the same as it always has been.

If anything HK is even more like Singapore than it was in the past.
