SHEIN Shifts to Hong Kong IPO After Supply Chain Disclosure Hurdles in London

Fast-fashion retailer SHEIN is turning to a Hong Kong initial public offering after its London listing plans stalled when the China Securities Regulatory Commission refused to approve documents that the UK Financial Conduct Authority had already cleared. Chinese regulators objected to references to Uyghur forced labor as a risk factor in the filing. SHEIN's Hong Kong IPO prospectus omits specific mention of allegations that its garments use Xinjiang cotton. The company and Beijing deny the forced labor claims, which are made by the U. S. government and human rights groups.
