With over 15 years of experience in cross-border investments between Asia and Europe, Paul Yang has accompanied hundreds of transactions — from European direct investments in China and Asia to Asian investments in Europe and intra-Asian capital flows.

He has deep expertise in China's special economic zones, the regulatory framework for foreign direct investment, and cross-border capital structuring. He has assisted numerous German Mittelstand companies with WFOE formations, joint venture negotiations, and compliance restructurings, structuring a total investment volume of €766 million.

Paul is rooted in Shanghai and deeply networked in the Yangtze Delta, the Greater Bay Area, and the leading industrial clusters of Southeast Asia — serving as the central hub for LinkwayFDI's strategic implementation in the Asia-Pacific region.

What Sets Us Apart

German Governance, Chinese Execution

Dual-hub model: German precision in compliance and structuring, operational depth and government access in Shanghai.

Not a Broker — A Project Partner

We accompany the entire investment cycle as your extended arm — from feasibility study to ongoing operations.

Regulatory Depth

Negative Lists, WFOE restructurings, transfer pricing, foreign exchange control — navigated, not just superficially advised.

Direct Government Access

3,000+ municipal governments and economic zones — incentive packages beyond standard conditions.

Not a broker. A structured partner with its own network.

LinkwayFDI was not founded as a consulting house — but as an operational bridge between German corporate structures and the Chinese institutional system. What differentiates us is not our advisory service, but our access: direct, bilateral, and at the decision-making level.

Our team has more than 15 years of active experience in cross-border investments — not in theory, but in practice: from the first feasibility review through regulatory structuring to operational launch. We accompany transactions on both sides simultaneously, with our own personnel on-site in Leipzig and Shanghai.

Our approach consistently follows "German logic": risk minimisation before return optimisation, transparency as a business principle, institutional reliability as our brand core. This is not a stylistic feature — it is the reason our clients are taken seriously in China.

Market Depth

Deeply anchored in the Yangtze Delta and the Greater Bay Area — China's two economically most powerful regions. Direct access to economic authorities, chambers of commerce, and bilateral investment platforms.

Institutional Access

Direct channel to 2,700+ Chinese economic zones with real-time data on settlement conditions, tax incentives, and sector priorities. No secondary market — primary information at the authority level.

Legal Substance

Dual qualification in German and Chinese commercial law. Full coverage of WFOE formation, holding structures, transfer pricing, and foreign exchange control — in-house, without outsourcing.

Operational Presence

Two permanent locations — Leipzig (DE) and Shanghai (CN) — with our own team, offices, and liability framework. No virtual network, no partner referrals.
