IMO, the EU's small parcel tax and packaging tax along, the tariffs on China and Vietnam, and the ExChina thesis made SHEIN's IPO much less impressive at it's intended valuation. They could have IPOed on in the LSE in 2023 at

Honestly surprised by the degree of skepticism about this on HN. The rack assemblers like Dell, HPE, Supermicro, and Lenovo have 18 to 24 month backlogs on deliveries at the moment, and even the neoclouds have 6-9 month backlogs to onboard
