This move could mark a significant shift in Chinese tech companies' approach towards international listings, following a period of restraint. The decision by the China Securities Regulatory Commission indicates a possible easing of restrictions and could pave the way for more Chinese tech firms to seek listings on US exchanges.
Key takeaways:
- China has approved a US listing by autonomous driving startup Pony.ai.
- This could potentially lead to an increase in Chinese tech initial public offerings in New York, after a hiatus of over two years.
- Pony.ai plans to sell up to 98 million shares.
- The company plans to list on the Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange, as per an announcement on the China Securities Regulatory Commission’s website.
