China: Facial recognition developer Megvii turns to Shanghai IPO after being blacklisted by US for alleged involvements in human rights violations in Xinjiang

"China’s Megvii kick-starts IPO on Shanghai’s Star Market after Trump added facial recognition giant to entity list" 13 January 2021

Megvii applied for a US$500 million IPO on the main board of Hong Kong’s stock market in August 2019. Later that year, the company hit pause on business activity to communicate with clients and suppliers about the US government’s decision to include it on a blacklist for alleged human rights violations against Muslim minorities in China’s Xinjiang region.The firm was one among eight companies included on the so-called entity list. Since then Washington has added more companies as US-China relations have deteriorated.

Megvii objected to its inclusion on the list and said it had generated only around 1 per cent of its revenue from projects in Xinjiang in 2018 and no revenue from the area in the six months ended June 30. [...]
