China’s tech firms have faced US listing limitations on both US and China regulations. China lawyer Mark Schaub look at the new issues tech firm face on data, privacy, VIE’s, and other regulations for listing in the US at the vlog of his law firm KWM.
China’s government is trying to control its tech sector and VIE’s (Variable Interest Entities) are high on their agenda. But outside the China business, very few people know what VIE’s are and China lawyer Mark Schaub reposted his vlog on what VIE’s actually are, even though they are a key feature in China’s tech sector.
The weakness in China shares may offer a buying opportunity, but there are risks to consider, says Arthur Kroeber, head of research at Gavekal Research, an investment consultancy. “We now know this is a regulatory minefield, and those who expose themselves to the sector are taking on a lot of volatility.” He adds that “If your horizon is long term, this is going to be one of the growth stories of the next decade and you have to ride it out. But if you are more short term, you may say it’s too complicated and come back in a year when things have calmed down.”
