China Unicom
China Unicom is a brand shared by several separately registered companies, and this record does not identify which of them it refers to. The record carries no registration number, no incorporation date, no registered address, no legal form and no website, and the only identifier attached to it is an internal data-provider reference. Its stored source is named “Company Data Enrichment”, which is a data vendor rather than a filing authority, so the stored status “Active” is not a register status and cannot be traced to any company register. On that evidence the record cannot be attributed to one legal person, and nothing below should be read as a statement about a single company called “China Unicom”.
The brand belongs to a Chinese telecommunications group whose principal legal persons each file separately. China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited was incorporated in Hong Kong on 8 February 2000 and listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong on 22 June 2000 under stock code 762; its Hong Kong Companies Registry number is 30881937, as validated by the Hong Kong Companies Registry in the Global LEI record for LEI 5299006RQXYNFYPOUS20, where the entity status is Active. Its principal activity is investment holding; the operating businesses sit in its subsidiaries. It merged with China Netcom Group Corporation (Hong Kong) Limited on 15 October 2008, and its American depositary shares were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange on 18 May 2021. A second listed legal person, China United Network Communications Limited, trades on the Shanghai Stock Exchange main board under code 600050, listed on 9 October 2002 and registered in Beijing, with no delisting date recorded. A third, China United Network Communications Group Company Limited, is the Chinese group company and is not itself listed. Further entities use the brand under their own registrations, including China United Network Communications Corporation Limited, China Unicom Global Limited and China Unicom (Europe) Operations Limited, the last registered in England and Wales under company number 05992614.
The group’s business is mobile and fixed-line telecommunications, fixed broadband, data-centre and cloud capacity, ICT integration and international connectivity, sold to consumers, enterprises, government bodies and wholesale carriers. China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited reports branches in 31 mainland Chinese provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. On 2 December 2024 the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council republished a China Daily report describing the group as operating 40 branches worldwide, managing more than 60 international submarine cables and maintaining more than 400 service access points across more than 200 countries and regions.
For the year ended 31 December 2025, China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited reported consolidated revenue of RMB392,223 million, profit before income tax of RMB25,453 million and profit attributable to equity shareholders of RMB20,816 million. As at 31 December 2025 its group employed approximately 235,950 people in Chinese Mainland, 819 in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan and 482 in other countries, plus approximately 9,179 temporary staff in Chinese Mainland. These are consolidated group figures for that one Hong Kong company and its subsidiaries; they are not figures for this record and not figures for any United Arab Emirates entity.
Why this record is coded United Arab Emirates
No company register entry for any entity named China Unicom in the United Arab Emirates was located. The United Arab Emirates operates no single federal company register: mainland licensing sits with each Emirate’s economic department and each free zone maintains its own register. A search of the Global LEI index for the name China Unicom returns two legal entities, in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, and none with a United Arab Emirates jurisdiction; in the same session, a control search of the same index restricted to the United Arab Emirates returns Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited, Dubai (DIFC) Branch, so the jurisdiction filter does return UAE records when they exist. The Dubai International Financial Centre public register could not be reached in this session, so it was not searched.
The documented UAE presence is operational. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission report of 2 December 2024 records the launch in Dubai of China Unicom (Middle East) Operations Limited, described as serving Chinese enterprises operating in the United Arab Emirates and local businesses expanding abroad. A branch or representative office is part of the legal person that established it: it has no separate share capital and no shareholders of its own. A Dubai operating presence therefore does not create a United Arab Emirates company whose registration, shareholders or officers could be reported here, and this record remains unattributed to any single legal person.

Shareholders
Shareholders of China Unicom
This record identifies no legal person, so it has no shareholders that can be reported. It carries no registration number and no jurisdiction of formation, its stored country is the United Arab Emirates, and no UAE-registered company named China Unicom was located. Nothing in the record ties it to any one of the several companies that use the China Unicom brand, and a shareholding in one of them is not a shareholding in another. The holdings set out below belong to China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited, the brand’s Hong Kong-listed legal person, and are given as context only.
Four shareholders were recorded in the register China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited keeps under section 336 of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Ordinance as at 31 December 2025, as disclosed in its Annual Report 2025. China United Network Communications Group Company Limited (“Unicom Group”) was interested in 24,683,896,309 shares, all indirectly, representing 80.67% of issued shares. China United Network Communications Limited, the Shanghai-listed company, was interested in 16,376,043,282 shares indirectly, representing 53.52%. China Unicom (BVI) Limited held those same 16,376,043,282 shares directly, representing 53.52%. China Unicom Group Corporation (BVI) Limited held 8,082,130,236 shares directly, representing 26.41%, and was interested in a further 225,722,791 shares, representing 0.74%, under a pre-emptive right, giving 27.15% in total.
These figures overlap and must not be added together. Under the Securities and Futures Ordinance, the interests of China Unicom (BVI) Limited are deemed to be interests of both Unicom Group and the Shanghai-listed company, and the interests of China Unicom Group Corporation (BVI) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Unicom Group, are deemed to be interests of Unicom Group. The 80.67% figure therefore already contains the 53.52% and the 26.41%. The company’s annual report states that, apart from these, no person had a disclosable interest in its shares as at 31 December 2025.
Shareholdings in the Shanghai-listed China United Network Communications Limited are a separate register and were not examined in this session; no percentage for that company is stated here. Shareholdings in China United Network Communications Group Company Limited are state-held and are not published as a shareholder register.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No natural person is identified as a beneficial owner, and none is named here. China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited’s Annual Report 2025 states that Unicom Group is its ultimate controlling shareholder. Unicom Group is a Chinese state-owned group company; the same annual report describes the company as fulfilling responsibilities “as a central state-owned enterprise”, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council publishes the group’s announcements as those of a central state-owned enterprise it supervises. Ownership therefore traces to the Chinese state through Unicom Group rather than to any individual. No beneficial-ownership filing naming a natural person was located for any of the brand’s legal persons, and no beneficial-ownership filing of any kind was located for the United Arab Emirates. The Global LEI record for China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited carries a direct accounting-consolidation parent reporting exception of “no LEI”, meaning its parent has not obtained a Legal Entity Identifier, so the chain above Unicom Group cannot be followed through that index.
No effective percentage is calculated for the state’s interest, because the holding of Unicom Group in the Shanghai-listed company was not verified in this session and the chain is therefore incomplete.
Data availability
For this record: Not found. No registered legal person, and therefore no shareholder register, could be identified for it. For China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited: Major shareholders only, since Hong Kong publishes substantial-shareholder disclosures above a notification threshold rather than a complete shareholder list. For the United Arab Emirates: Not public for mainland private companies, whose shareholder filings sit with each Emirate’s economic department and are not generally publicly accessible; free zones and the financial free zones apply their own rules. The absence of shareholder data is not evidence that any entity has no shareholders.

Officers
Directors and officers of China Unicom
No officer can be reported for this record, because the record identifies no legal person: it has no registration number, no jurisdiction of formation and no register behind it, and no United Arab Emirates company named China Unicom was located. The data-provider feed carries no officer records for it either, only a generic note about officer disclosure. The board set out below is that of China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited, one of several legal persons using the brand, and is given as context only; its directors are not officers of this record or of any UAE entity.
China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited disclosed eight directors in office as at 19 March 2026, the date stated in its Annual Report 2025: four executive directors and four independent non-executive directors, together with a company secretary. The executive directors are Dong Xin, executive director, chairman and chief executive officer, appointed 14 January 2026; Jian Qin, executive director and president, appointed 10 April 2024; Tang Yongbo, executive director, appointed 27 June 2025; and Li Yuzhuo, executive director and chief financial officer, appointed 28 February 2022. The independent non-executive directors are Cheung Wing Lam Linus, appointed 12 May 2004; Chung Shui Ming Timpson, appointed 15 October 2008; Law Fan Chiu Fun Fanny, appointed 21 November 2012; and Fan Chun Wah Andrew, appointed 10 April 2024. Chan Ngar Wai is company secretary. Two executive directors resigned during 2025 and one executive director was appointed during 2025, with a further executive director appointed on 14 January 2026; the four independent non-executive directors were unchanged through the year. The company states that its directors are not appointed for a specific term but retire by rotation, one third at each annual general meeting.

Data availability
For this record: Not found. No officer source exists for it, and the generic note in the data-provider feed is not an officer record. For China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited: Full for current appointments, taken from the company’s own annual report rather than from a search result, with appointment dates and resignation dates stated and committee membership disclosed. Nationality is not disclosed for any of these directors in the sources examined, and country of residence is not disclosed either; neither has been inferred from a name, a correspondence address or a listing location. Occupation is not reported separately from legal role in these filings. Chinese state-enterprise boards change frequently, and the positions above are those recorded as at 19 March 2026; later changes may have been filed since. No officer information of any kind was located for the United Arab Emirates, where officer filings are made to each Emirate’s economic department or to the relevant free-zone authority and are not generally publicly accessible. Missing officer data is not evidence that an entity has no directors or legal representatives.

Group Structure
Group structure of China Unicom
This record cannot be placed in a group structure, because it identifies no legal person. It has no registration number, no jurisdiction of formation and no register, its stored country is the United Arab Emirates, and no UAE-registered company named China Unicom was located. A group chart can only be drawn for a specific legal person, and no filing links this record to any of the companies below. The data-provider feed states that no parent or subsidiary linkage is available for it and attributes that to the company being small or a single entity; that inference is not supported, since the record is a brand name rather than a measured entity.
The brand does sit within a verified Chinese group. China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited, incorporated in Hong Kong on 8 February 2000 and listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong under code 762, states in its Annual Report 2025 that China United Network Communications Group Company Limited is its ultimate controlling shareholder and that its own principal activity is investment holding, with the operating businesses in its subsidiaries. Its two intermediate direct shareholders are British Virgin Islands companies. A second listed legal person, China United Network Communications Limited, sits in the same chain and trades separately on the Shanghai Stock Exchange under code 600050. The jurisdictions represented in the verified part of the structure are mainland China, Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands. Shareholding information is stated as at 31 December 2025 and board and subsidiary information as at 19 March 2026.

Two further companies carry the brand but their corporate link was not evidenced in the filings examined, so they are recorded as possible relationships only and are excluded from the table above. China Unicom (Europe) Operations Limited is registered in England and Wales under company number 05992614 and holds a Legal Entity Identifier under its Chinese name. China Unicom (Middle East) Operations Limited was reported as launched in Dubai, with no registration number, register or jurisdiction of formation located for it. Shared branding and a shared name are not evidence of a corporate relationship.

Data availability
For this record: Not found. No legal person, and therefore no corporate linkage, could be established for it, and its stored United Arab Emirates coding could not be matched to any register. For China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited: Partial. Its shareholders and ultimate controlling shareholder are disclosed in its own filings, but its full subsidiary list sits in the notes to its consolidated financial statements, which were not examined here, and registration numbers are not published for the mainland Chinese and British Virgin Islands entities in the sources used. The United Arab Emirates publishes no single federal company register, so no UAE filing was available to test the stored country code against. Unavailable linkage data is not evidence that an entity is independent or has no parent or subsidiaries.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does China Unicom do?
China Unicom is a brand used by several separately registered companies, and this record identifies none of them: it carries no registration number, no incorporation date and no register, and its stored source is a data-enrichment vendor rather than a filing authority. The brand belongs to a Chinese telecommunications group whose businesses are mobile and fixed-line telecommunications, fixed broadband, data-centre and cloud capacity, ICT integration and international connectivity, sold to consumers, enterprises, government bodies and wholesale carriers. China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited, the brand's Hong Kong-listed legal person, reports branches in 31 mainland Chinese provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, and its own principal activity is investment holding, with the operating businesses in its subsidiaries. Source: China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited Annual Report 2025, Company Profile and Report of the Directors.
Who owns China Unicom?
This record has no shareholders that can be reported, because it identifies no legal person and no United Arab Emirates company named China Unicom was located. For China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited, four interests were recorded in the register kept under section 336 of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Ordinance as at 31 December 2025: China United Network Communications Group Company Limited, 24,683,896,309 shares indirectly, 80.67%; China United Network Communications Limited, 16,376,043,282 shares indirectly, 53.52%; China Unicom (BVI) Limited, the same 16,376,043,282 shares directly, 53.52%; and China Unicom Group Corporation (BVI) Limited, 8,082,130,236 shares directly, 26.41%, plus 0.74% under a pre-emptive right. These overlap because of the Ordinance's deeming rules and must not be added: the 80.67% already contains the other figures. Hong Kong publishes substantial shareholders above a threshold, not a complete shareholder list. Holdings in the Shanghai-listed China United Network Communications Limited are a separate register and were not examined. Source: China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited Annual Report 2025, Report of the Directors.
Who is China Unicom's UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner)?
No individual is a beneficial owner of anything described here, and no natural person is named. This record identifies no legal person, so it has no ultimate beneficial owner that can be determined, and no beneficial-ownership filing of any kind was located for the United Arab Emirates, which operates no single federal company register. For China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited, its Annual Report 2025 states that China United Network Communications Group Company Limited is its ultimate controlling shareholder, holding a deemed 80.67% interest as at 31 December 2025. That group company is Chinese state-owned: the same annual report describes the company as fulfilling its responsibilities as a central state-owned enterprise, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council publishes its announcements as those of a central state-owned enterprise under its supervision. Ownership therefore traces to the Chinese state, not to a person. No effective state percentage is calculated, because the holding of the group company in the Shanghai-listed company was not verified and the chain is incomplete. The Global LEI record for China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited carries a direct-parent reporting exception of 'no LEI', so the chain cannot be followed further through that index.
Is China Unicom still an active company?
China Unicom's status on Company Data Enrichment is listed as active.
What is China Unicom's registered address?
The registered address on file for China Unicom is United Arab Emirates.
What is China Unicom's revenue?
No revenue can be attributed to this record, which identifies no legal person, and none can be attributed to any United Arab Emirates entity. For the year ended 31 December 2025, China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited reported consolidated revenue of RMB392,223 million, profit before income tax of RMB25,453 million and profit attributable to equity shareholders of RMB20,816 million; the prior-year comparatives were revenue of RMB389,589 million and profit attributable to equity shareholders of RMB20,613 million. These are consolidated figures for that company and its subsidiaries, not company-only figures and not figures for this record. As at 31 December 2025 that group employed approximately 235,950 people in Chinese Mainland, 819 in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan and 482 in other countries, plus approximately 9,179 temporary staff in Chinese Mainland. Source: China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited Annual Report 2025, Consolidated Statement of Income and Report of the Directors.
Is China Unicom listed on a stock exchange?
No listing attaches to this record, which identifies no legal person. Two legal persons using the brand are listed. China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited was incorporated in Hong Kong on 8 February 2000 and listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong on 22 June 2000 under stock code 762; its American depositary shares were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange on 18 May 2021. China United Network Communications Limited is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange main board under code 600050, with a listing date of 9 October 2002 and no delisting date recorded. These are two different companies and their shares are not interchangeable.

Who are the officers/directors of China Unicom?
No officers can be reported for this record, which identifies no legal person; the data-provider feed holds no officer records for it, only a generic note about officer disclosure, and no officer information was located for the United Arab Emirates. China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited disclosed eight directors in office as at 19 March 2026: executive directors Dong Xin, chairman and chief executive officer, appointed 14 January 2026, Jian Qin, president, appointed 10 April 2024, Tang Yongbo, appointed 27 June 2025, and Li Yuzhuo, chief financial officer, appointed 28 February 2022; and independent non-executive directors Cheung Wing Lam Linus, appointed 12 May 2004, Chung Shui Ming Timpson, appointed 15 October 2008, Law Fan Chiu Fun Fanny, appointed 21 November 2012, and Fan Chun Wah Andrew, appointed 10 April 2024. Chan Ngar Wai is company secretary. Wang Junzhi resigned as an executive director on 22 May 2025 and Chen Zhongyue resigned on 29 October 2025, ceasing to be chairman and chief executive officer. Nationality and country of residence are not disclosed for these directors in the sources examined and have not been inferred. Source: China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited Annual Report 2025, Corporate Information and Corporate Governance Report.
Does China Unicom have a parent company or subsidiaries?
This record cannot be placed in a group structure, because it identifies no legal person and no filing links it to any company. The verified structure around China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited, as at 31 December 2025, is that China United Network Communications Group Company Limited is its ultimate controlling shareholder with a deemed 80.67% interest; China United Network Communications Limited, listed in Shanghai under code 600050, is interested in 53.52% indirectly; China Unicom (BVI) Limited holds that 53.52% directly; and China Unicom Group Corporation (BVI) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the group company, holds 26.41% directly. China United Network Communications Corporation Limited is named as its major subsidiary and, with China Unicom Global Limited, is shown as wholly owned in its shareholding structure diagram. China Unicom (Europe) Operations Limited, registered in England and Wales under number 05992614, and China Unicom (Middle East) Operations Limited, reported as launched in Dubai on 2 December 2024, share the brand but their corporate link was not evidenced in the filings examined. A branch or representative office is part of the legal person that established it and is not a separate company.

Can Zavia monitor changes to China Unicom's ownership over time?
This profile reflects a point-in-time snapshot from Company Data Enrichment. Zavia's monitoring API can track changes to China Unicom's registered shareholders, officers, and group structure going forward, flagging updates as they're filed rather than requiring a manual recheck.
Can I access China Unicom's data through an API?
Yes. Zavia's API connects directly to official government ownership registries across 195 countries and territories, including United Arab Emirates, so records like China Unicom's registration, shareholder, UBO, and group-structure data can be queried programmatically instead of viewed one page at a time.
Where does this company information come from, and how current is it?
This record is sourced directly from Company Data Enrichment and was last synced on 30 September 2026.
