00:00 Benzinga and here's what's on the block. Xi'an has confidentially filed to go public in the U.S.
00:04 and is moving forward with its long-rumored IPO. It's tapped Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan,
00:09 and Morgan Stanley to lead the offering. Xi'an was last valued at $66 billion. It could be ready
00:14 to start trading on public markets as soon as 2024. Xi'an has been growing rapidly in recent
00:19 years and is now a global behemoth, but it's faced accusations around forced labor, design theft,
00:24 environmental harm, and labor law violations. Issues around its supply chain practices and
00:28 ties to China have led to investigations. Lawmakers have called on the SEC to ensure
00:33 no forced labor is used before allowing the IPO. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
