SPCs and PTEs in East Asia

The SPC Blog has recently received an email from Michael Lin (Marks&Clerk, Hong Kong), who helpfully tells us:

"I’ve received quite a few questions recently about SPC/PTEs in East Asia, so I thought this may be useful for those subscribing to the SPC blog:

SPC/PTE available: Australia, Brunei, Japan, Macau, Singapore, S. Korea, & Taiwan.

SPC/PTE not available: China PRC, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam".

Readers of this weblog will already be familiar with the case of Macau (see earlier posts here and here). As for the rest, The SPC Blog will watch carefully for news and developments.
