Reuters first to report China eyes pushing U.S. IPO-bound firms to hand over data control

Reuters was first to report that Chinese regulators are considering pressing data-rich companies to hand over management and supervision of their data to third-party firms if they want U.S. stock listings, as part of Beijing’s unprecedented scrutiny of private sector firms. The plan is one of several proposals under consideration by Chinese regulators as Beijing has tightened its grip on the country’s internet platforms in recent months, including looking to sharpen scrutiny of overseas listings.
