Has Zhang Ziqiang’s family’s property been confiscated by the state?

No. This matter is more complicated.

First of all, Zhang Ziqiang was arrested and interrogated in mainland China. Since the mainland and Hong Kong are two different judicial systems and are independent of each other, Zhang Ziqiang was found guilty in the mainland but did not face trial in Hong Kong. There can be no conviction without a trial. When Zhang Ziqiang was shot, he could never go to Hong Kong to face trial. Therefore, it is impossible to convict him in Hong Kong.

Secondly, due to the independence of different judicial systems. Mainland China's judgments are invalid in Hong Kong. For example, the mainland sentenced Zhang Ziqiang to confiscate all his personal property. This judgment is invalid in Hong Kong. Hong Kong police will not enforce the judgments of mainland courts.

So after Zhang Ziqiang was arrested, the Hong Kong authorities tried to extradite him to Hong Kong for trial, and at the same time froze his property in Hong Kong. However, because the mainland did not agree to release him and directly shot him (actually we here did not understand the law at the time and felt that Hong Kong did not have the death penalty, so sending Zhang Ziqiang was an advantage for him. If it was done in the mainland, it would show the superiority of our mainland laws. , but he never expected that this would be an advantage for him). He cannot be convicted in Hong Kong, but his property can only be unsealed. Zhang Ziqiang’s wife took the opportunity to sell all her Hong Kong assets and immigrate.

(About 4 billion in accounts were taken away, because those assets increased in value)
