endIndex: All the above exist in Hong Kong and were exposed, in part, by investigations using Hong Kong s Companies Registry, a public database that has become the subject of a fierce debate between the city s government and a coalition of investors, lawyers, journalists and advocates for transparent governance. Though the registry s online search engine looks and operates like it was created 20 years ago, it is a crucial tool for a smattering of industries because it contains identifying information for the nearly 1.4 million active companies in Hong Kong  and the people in charge of them. Investors use the registry to research the business connections of potential partners. Lawyers use it to find the addresses of businesses they want to sue. Labor unions use the registry to issue complaints against management. And journalists use it to investigate possible wrongdoing.
