title: StepFun Is Reworking Its Offshore Setup For A Hong Kong IPO

description: China's tougher stance on Cayman-style structures is pushing the state-backed AI startup to restructure, a shift that could reshape Hong Kong's growing pipeline of Chinese listings.

snippets: What's going on here? Chinese AI startup StepFun is unwinding its Cayman Islands–style "red-chip" offshore structure ahead of a planned Hong Kong IPO, Reuters reports – a sign China is tightening how local firms list abroad. What does this mean? Red-chip structures let China-based companies route ownership through offshore holding companies (often in the Caymans) to raise money in markets like Hong Kong.

snippets: After a bumper IPO year for Hong Kong in 2025 with funds raised surging 231% to $37 billion, more than 530 companies have filed applications as of last month to list, most of them Chinese, stock exchange data shows. It was not clear how many are red-chip companies. But last year, one-fifth of 131 Hong Kong listings China approved involved offshore holdings, the majority of which used the red-chip structure, according to Chinese law firm Hankun.

snippets: Chinese AI startup StepFun plans to drop its offshore structure as it prepares for an IPO. This signals a strategic shift aligned with regulatory and market dynamics in China's evolving tech sector. The evolving regulatory landscape is expected to continue shaping listing strategies for Chinese firms seeking access to global capital markets

snippets: Volkswagen Group (VOW.BE, VKW.L, VOW.DE) reported 2.05 million global vehicle deliveries for the first quarter, down 4 percent from a year ago.

description: Chilean state copper miner Codelco was fined by labor authorities after last year's deadly collapse at its El Teniente mine, while three contractors whose workers were killed or injured were sanctioned more heavily, according to inspection records […]

snippets: The disaster also underscored the geotechnical risks facing Chile's aging underground mines CONTRACTORS FINED MORE THAN CODELCO The records show the three contractors were fined the equivalent of about $87,000 combined, versus roughly $20,000 for Codelco, a gap that reflects Chile's split-liability framework for subcontracted work.

description: SANTIAGO, April 13 - Chilean state copper miner Codelco was fined by labor authorities after last year's deadly collapse at its El Teniente mine, while three contractors whose workers were killed or injured were sanctioned more heavily, according to inspection records obtained by Reuters through public-records requests.
