Shein’s executive chairman said he remains committed to plans to take the fast-fashion retailer public despite being in the crosshairs of US President Donald Trump’s campaign to rebalance global trade. 

Donald Tang, a former Bear Stearns banker, said in an interview that a listing would help earn public trust and increase transparency of Shein, which has been accused of tolerating labour violations among its Chinese suppliers.

Tang was in London to talk about Shein weeks after investors said the company should cut its valuation by more than two-thirds to about US$30 billion ($40.09 billion). He declined to comment on Shein’s valuation.
