Hong Kong police say Xiao crossed the border into China on Jan 27 through a checkpoint and that they are still investigating the case. The Canadian consulate in Hong Kong said it had no further information on the family. Now he says he would not consider Hong Kong a safe place for his assets. Three were detained while in China, but two with foreign passports were taken there against their will from Thailand and Hong Kong. One well-connected mainland Chinese financier in Hong Kong who also knew Xiao said he and others were not feeling reassured.
