China Plans to Ban U.S. IPOs for Data-Heavy Tech Firms

"The new rules have yet to be finalized. The CSRC plans to implement them around the fourth quarter, and have asked some companies to hold off on overseas IPOs until then, the people said."https://t.co/l0KiedVqbA https://t.co/8QSuYDsDnX

China plans to ban U.S. IPOs for data-heavy tech firms.

Key part from @QiZHAI: Chinese leaders consider sectors such as the internet, telecommunications and education sensitive because of political or national-security concerns https://t.co/fhflyiAtOQ

This is huge. Possibly the end of US listing/capital access for Chinese tech ? For what VIEs are and what happens China cracks down VIEs in a specific sector read this https://t.co/XtDjDROmlg https://t.co/FiKr1f4MmZ

In recent weeks, officials from China’s stock regulator have told some companies and international investors that new rules would prohibit internet firms holding a swath of user-related data from listing abroad, people familiar with the matter said https://t.co/mIiccLLefq

Important read. Hard not to view the “consumer data” issue as a red herring (?), simply because US investors don’t actually get much data (especially due to accounting rules). Either way, the SEC was trying to end it … now China is. End of VIE??? https://t.co/RH2pjV9F74

Crazy not to see the consumer data issue as important. The crazy part is US investors don’t usually get much data. I think SEC was trying to end it during the Trump administration but China did it first. https://t.co/mLAPwVtK14
