On March 11, according to informed sources, before and after the Spring Festival in 2026, Li Silian, chairman of Guangzhou R&amp;F Properties Co., Ltd. (2777.HK, hereinafter referred to as &#34;R&amp;F Properties&#34;), was intercepted during an outbound trip. The border inspection personnel informed him that he was restricted from leaving the country by the Tianjin Third Intermediate People's Court (hereinafter referred to as &#34;Tianjin Third Intermediate Court&#34;).
The Economic Observer sought verification from both the Tianjin Third Intermediate Court and R&amp;F Properties. The Tianjin Third Intermediate Court stated that the case is still being processed and it is inconvenient to disclose relevant information; R&amp;F Properties stated that the relevant issues have been reported to the group, &#34;and we have not yet received any official notification,&#34; and no further response was given by the time of publication; R&amp;F Properties' Hong Kong office claimed to be unaware of the situation.
Article 12 of the Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that Chinese citizens are not allowed to exit the country under the following circumstances: (1) not holding valid exit and entry documents or refusing to undergo border inspection; (2) having an unexecuted criminal sentence, or being a defendant or suspect in a criminal case; (3) having unresolved civil cases, with the people's court deciding not to allow exit; (4) having been criminally punished for obstructing national (border) management, or being repatriated by other countries or regions for illegal exit, illegal residence, or illegal employment, and not meeting the exit prohibition period; (5) posing a potential threat to national security and interests, as decided by the relevant competent department of the State Council; (6) other circumstances as stipulated by laws and administrative regulations that prohibit exit.
A lawyer from a Beijing law firm explained to the Economic Observer that the court's decision to restrict exit usually involves three main situations: unresolved civil cases, becoming a person subject to enforcement, or being involved in foreign-related disputes.
The aforementioned informed sources revealed that, based on preliminary understanding, Li Silian's exit restriction is mainly related to R&amp;F Properties, but the specific reason is still unclear. It is analyzed that it may involve two aspects: one is that some projects of R&amp;F Properties in Tianjin have been sued by owners due to delivery issues; the other is that R&amp;F Properties has become a person subject to enforcement due to debt disputes.
According to court announcements, R&amp;F Properties has a total of four enforcement cases in Tianjin, two of which were ruled by the Tianjin Third Intermediate Court. The parties involved in these two enforcement cases are the same as the defendant in a private lending case being heard by the Tianjin Third Intermediate Court. However, since the judgment of the private lending case has not been published, the correlation between the two cannot be determined.
On April 8, 2025, the Tianjin Third Intermediate Court held a hearing on the case filed by Shanghai Zuoma Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as &#34;Shanghai Zuoma&#34;) against R&amp;F Properties and its subsidiaries Chongqing R&amp;F Yujing, Guiyang R&amp;F, and Guangzhou Guili, with the case being a private lending dispute.
On October 28, 2025, the Tianjin Third Intermediate Court issued enforcement ruling (2025) Jin 03 Zhi 935, executing an amount of 1.76 billion yuan against R&amp;F Properties, Chongqing R&amp;F Yujing, Guiyang R&amp;F, and Guangzhou Guili
On November 14, 2025, the Tianjin Third Intermediate People's Court made an enforcement ruling (2025) Jin 03 Zhi 1043, executing an amount of RMB 8.156 million against R&amp;F PROPERTIES and three other companies.
On February 5, 2026, Li Silian and the legal representative of Chongqing R&amp;F Yujing, Kuang Nian'en, were restricted from consumption by the Tianjin Third Intermediate People's Court.
According to the aforementioned informants, both the enforcement ruling and the consumption restriction order have legal documents, but Li Silian was restricted from leaving the country, and neither R&amp;F PROPERTIES nor Li Silian received the relevant legal documents. Li Silian only discovered the exit restriction after being obstructed from leaving the country.
The aforementioned lawyer explained that there are mainly two scenarios in which the court issues a legal document restricting exit: one is when the creditor or plaintiff submits an &#34;Application for Exit Restriction&#34; to the court, which, after review, issues a &#34;Decision on Exit Restriction&#34;; the other is when the court deems it necessary to make a decision on its own initiative. At the same time, the court also produces a &#34;Notice of Exit Control Object,&#34; which specifies the name, ID number, passport number, duration, and reason for the exit restriction, and is sent to the National Immigration Administration through the court's execution command center to achieve nationwide port synchronization. The exit restriction period is generally one year, and an application for extension can be made 30 days before the expiration. The restricted exit object can apply for reconsideration in accordance with the law
