If there was 1% chance, why would they even bother. They bother because there's a very good chance, and it's a Chinese company pulling the product, so they know the regulatory landscape. They would have made their assessments of the prospects of success before committing to go down that path. Just like TGA, you just have to go through this stuff to get to the greener pastures, unfortunately there's no way around it.

The ASX is being extra protectionist because the market is flooded with amateurs who literally wouldn't even know where to start. No a bad thing, but it puts extra burden on listed organisations and it was always on the investor to do their research.
