If they offered 51% of the company on a US ipo would they still be looking at getting banned?

Let's be honest, the US ban is all political. If they find a way around it, the goalposts will be moved.

Remember the last dispute was solved by paying Oracle a lot of money (a bribe) to onshore all of US citizens data... Yet a few years later and suddenly that isn't enough.

Depends on who ends up controlling the company, if the 51% isn't coordinated then the 49% could still call the shots
