PSSI Perspective #38: Overcharged: The Hidden Costs of CATL's Stock Exchange Ambitions
PSSI’s latest Perspective examines the growing risks posed by CATL, a leading Chinese lithium-ion battery manufacturer, due to its ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), and China’s Military-Civil Fusion (MCF) strategy. In January 2025, the U.S. Department of Defense designated CATL as a “Chinese Military Company Operating in the United States,” raising serious national security concerns. Nevertheless, CATL is still enjoying substantial Western investment as a publicly traded company, and is further seeking a secondary listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange underwritten by U.S. financial institutions.
