China's CATL, the world's largest EV battery maker, is set to raise at least $4 billion in Hong Kong's biggest share sale of the year. The shares will be priced this week and begin trading on May 20. Despite US concerns and the Pentagon's designation of CATL as having military affiliations, the company denies these claims and proceeds with the listing, underwritten by US banks including JPMorgan and Bank of America. The listing comes amidst easing US-China trade tensions, though CATL acknowledges uncertainty surrounding future US tariff policies.
