By Engen Tham and James Pomfret SHANGHAI/HONG KONG (Reuters) – China’s clampdown on its consultancy and due diligence sector has driven companies to review their operations after some tested the limits of the laws and Beijing’s patience to meet surging demand as China emerged from its COVID-lockdowns.
