A Hong Kong court has ordered the liquidation of the Christian Zheng Sheng Association after it failed to repay HK$61 million to the government. The debt stemmed from a 2017 funding agreement to renovate a boarding school for drug addicts, Christian Zheng Sheng College, located on Lantau Island. The Department of Justice petitioned for the winding up after the association violated a clause requiring consistent leadership following a fraud case in 2024 where directors were arrested for allegedly misappropriating HK$50 million in donations. The Beat Drugs Fund Association demanded repayment after the association replaced its directors, but the requests were ignored. The college, established in 1985 to help teenagers with drug addiction, ceased operations in July 2024.
