Buyers of Santa Anna Bonds
United States First Mortgage Bond signed by Mexican General Santa Anna


Buyers of the Bond of the Republic of Mexico Signed by General Ocha

PRE 1949 CHINESE FOREIGN DEBT LAWSUIT

The bonds have exotic names like Imperial Chinese Government Hukuang Railways Gold Loan, French Boxer Indemnity and 1913 Reorganization Gold Loan and they are all in default.

Holders of Chinese bonds issued from 1895-1942 which are all in default since 1949 are taking on the former masters of Nationalist China – the Kuomintang. The bondholder plaintiffs which include two American bond holding corporations and the Taiwan Civil Rights Litigation Organization are suing the Kuomintang’s business management committee for an accounting and redemption of 120,000 separate bonds some over 110 years old and backed by gold.

The name of the case filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California is Taiwan Civil Rights Litigation Organization et al v. Kuomintang Business Management Committee – Case No. C10-362JL.

Prior to the 2000 election of Chen Shui-bian to the presidency of the Republic of China on Taiwan, the Kuomintang of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek ruled Taiwan with an iron fist and expropriated billions of dollars in assets including gold and collateral, some earmarked to redeem defaulted bonds.

In 2000, the Kuomintang lost its grip on Taiwan but unlike the Communist Party of the former Soviet Union, the Kuomintang did not return the billions of dollars in cash and assets it had looted from Taiwan and removed from mainland China in 1949. Today the Kuomintang holds a portfolio estimated to be worth at least $6 billion US dollars.

Bondholders who paid value for their bonds have had a rough time. Lawsuits against the Peoples Republic of China have been dismissed. However until recently bondholders had overlooked that at least in regards to the Republic of China on Taiwan, the original issuer of many of the bonds, the existence of the defaulted bonds had been reaffirmed by presidential decree in 2003.

The plaintiffs are seeking an accounting, redemption, and interest on the defaulted bonds from the Kuomintang.

A copy of the lawsuit is available here
