Beijing Sohu Internet is a PRC company that was incorporated into Sohu Limited in 2003. Sohu is one of the earliest internet companies in China and was once known as one of China’s leading search engine portals. The company’s current products include Sohu Media Portal — a leading Chinese language online media content and services provider, Sohu Video — an online video content and services provider, and Focus — an online real estate information and services provider in China. Since its peak in 2011 and the rise of other popular tech companies in China, its annual net profit has fallen and never recovered. High Century holds a 100% interest in this entity.

Beijing Sohu Sanctions

While at this time it appears that this company is not the subject of any U.S. or other global sanctions, it is important to note that Chinese companies tend to have more opaque organizational structures than their Western peers. Chinese companies' affiliated brands, operating units, and overseas subsidiaries are not always obvious or even identifiable. Given this, a Chinese company may not be the subject of sanctions, but one of its subsidiaries may be, thus making it difficult to accurately ascertain a company's full sanctions status.
