Episode Details

SpaceX's decision to bar Chinese mainland and Hong Kong investors from its $75 billion IPO underscores a growing global trend of technology decoupling, which Chinese companies must heed without altering their global outreach, said experts on Tuesday.

多位专家周二表示，SpaceX拒绝中国大陆及香港投资者参与其规模达750亿美元的首次公开募股，凸显出全球科技脱钩趋势加剧。中国企业需正视这一现状，但不应停止国际化发展的步伐。

Underwriters for SpaceX, the space exploration company founded by Elon Musk, said on Friday that they are instructed to reject any orders originating from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong, according to people familiar with the matter.

据知情人士透露，这家由埃隆·马斯克创立的太空探索公司的承销商于周五表示，他们接到指令，将拒绝所有来自中国大陆和香港的认购订单。

It means that mutual funds, private equities, sovereign funds, family offices and high-net-worth individuals from the two jurisdictions will all be blocked from this highly anticipated IPO, which would rank among the world's largest technology listings in history.

这意味着，两地的共同基金、私募股权基金、主权基金、家族理财室以及高净值人群，都将无缘这场备受瞩目的上市活动。此次IPO也有望跻身全球史上规模最大的科技企业上市行列。

Online access to the official website of SpaceX and its roadshow materials were inaccessible in the jurisdictions on Tuesday.

周二，中国大陆及香港地区已无法正常访问SpaceX官网及相关路演资料。

SpaceX has cited the US International Traffic in Arms Regulations for making the decision, indicating national security concerns.

SpaceX称此举依据美国《国际武器贸易条例》，理由是出于国家安全考量。

But Dai Guanchun, a senior capital markets lawyer based in Beijing, said that there is no explicit restriction under US law. The subscription of shares does not pose any serious national security or technology leakage risks, he stressed.

北京资深资本市场律师戴冠春则认为，美国相关法律中并无此类明确限制。他强调，单纯的股份认购并不会带来重大国家安全风险，也不存在技术泄露隐患。

"This reflects an excessive politicization of technological exchanges by the United States, disrupting the normal flow of international capital," he said.
