The daughter of a Vancouver man alleged to be a Chinese corruption suspect invested $1 million US into a Nasdaq-listed American company earlier this year, according to an investigation by the South China Morning Post.

Linda Ching, 19, is the daughter of Michael Ching, a prominent Vancouver-based property developer with connections to the Liberal Party of Canada, who earlier this year denied any connection to Muyang Cheng, a corruption suspect being sought by Interpol.

According to the South China Morning Post story, the younger Ching is listed as the sole director of 1030443 BC Ltd.

Securities filings obtained by the Post show that on April 2, Ching’s numbered company transferred $1 million US to be invested in Premier Exhibitions, a listed U.S. company that specializes in artifact exhibitions and that owns the salvage rights to the Titantic.

The transfer took place less than a month before Beijing released the names and images of two dozen Chinese fugitives — including Muyang Cheng — wanted on a number of alleged corruption charges.
