Shein finally wins China's approval for Hong Kong IPO, in third attempt to go public
The approval clears Shein to pursue a Hong Kong listing after regulatory setbacks in New York and London, removing a major political uncertainty, analysts said.
- On Friday, the China Securities Regulatory Commission approved Shein's initial public offering application, allowing the fashion titan to sell up to 341.6 million shares on the Hong Kong stock exchange.
- Previous attempts to list in New York and London faced regulatory hurdles; the US regulatory ban on the New York bid cited supply chain issues and geopolitical risks.
- Analysts suggest the approval "removes a long-time and major political uncertainty for Shein," Han Lin of The Asia Group told AFP, while economist Kelvin Lam noted China "is still supporting Hong Kong as a major offshore capital raising platform."
- Chinese-Born entrepreneur Xu Yangtian pledged earlier this year to leverage Guangdong's garment supply chain with Chinese Communist Party support, as Shein's platform exports exceeded ¥100 billion in 2025.
- Despite the IPO progress, French authorities imposed fines totaling more than €22 million in June citing traceability and labeling problems, though Shein's executive chairman told AFP last year the company maintains "zero tolerance" on forced labour.
