“幽灵注册”再现！广州一地多个住宅被登记公司，部门回应

Core Viewpoint - The issue of "ghost registrations" in residential buildings has been reported in Guangzhou, specifically at 71 Huanhua West Road, where nearly 20 companies have been registered at different units of the same building, raising concerns about the integrity of the registration process [2][3][5]. Group 1: Incident Overview - Residents reported that multiple companies were registered at their residential address, with five companies registered in April and May 2025, all marked as small enterprises without contact information [3]. - A resident noted that out of eight households on their floor, six had been registered under false names, with registration dates primarily in 2019 and May 2025 [5]. - The local market supervision authority confirmed that all companies registered under the main affected units have been revoked, while others are under investigation [8]. Group 2: Registration Process and Concerns - The registration process for companies in Guangzhou has been streamlined through an online platform, allowing for quick registration, but this has raised concerns about the verification of submitted materials [6][7]. - Residents expressed confusion over the strictness of the deregistration process compared to the leniency observed during the initial registration [5]. - The local market supervision bureau has stated that they will enhance oversight of business entities to prevent future occurrences of false registrations [8][10]. Group 3: Historical Context and Broader Implications - This incident is not isolated; similar cases have occurred in Guangzhou, with previous reports of residential addresses being used for company registrations without the owners' knowledge [9]. - Concerns have been raised that even if the fraudulent companies are revoked, the underlying issues that allow such registrations to occur remain unaddressed, potentially leading to future problems [9][10]. - Legal experts suggest that stricter management of residential address registrations is necessary to protect homeowners and prevent misuse [12][13].
