An OCDE link about the AEOI, did I understand it properly or it's way less worrysone than we heard so far ? China, UAE are signatories but have signed 0 bilateral agreements to activate the automatic exchange and there are a bunch of other countries among the only 50 or so listed countries in the same situation (some offshore centers have signed plenty of those agreements though, not sure how they affect corporate set ups):

As of getting taxed while holidaying in HK on one's trading gains while the ird hardly bother the locals (there's no cap gain tax in Hk). Sure, that's a scary prospect...
DW, or the tax and sexual repression black swan at every corner
The only reason I'm replying to you is because you're spreading false information. Again.
There are the early adopters and the late adopters. Early adopter countries are going to exchange information from September, 2017 and the late adopters are going to exchange information by September 2018. The early adopters exchanges information about accounts existed on January 1, 2016 and the late adopters are going to exchange information about accounts existed on January 1, 2017.
Here is the official list of all the jurisdictions which are going to exchange information within the Common Reporting Standard.

The problem with you buddy is you're taking this personal. Taxation is a really important matter because the consequences of tax evasion are disastrous. So, before you'd try to open an account in a certain country to avoid the CRS, check the official list linked above. The countries on that list are going to exchange information, no matter what. If you think otherwise then you clearly never ever banked with a private bank or with a global bank's wealth management unit. They've been moving accounts from every single country including the UAE, China, Singapore, Switzerland, Panama, Lebanon to the US because the United States of America is the only country which doesn't participate in the OECD CRS.
With all due respect, please, stop misleading all these people. The laws are written and clearly understandable. I know that you won't stop this nonsense. The guy who doesn't believe to the HK tax authorities website, the guy who thinks that sex outside of marriage is legal in the UAE (while both the UK and Australia has issued another warning in 2016 about the UAE laws...), and the guy who doesn't believe that the OECD CRS is going to happen. Got it. You're a kind of person who likes to argue with the facts.
The guy who still can't understand the difference between capital gains and trading income.
For everyone else, there is the official list above, check for yourself.
