Talk:Hikvision

State owned, size of stake

There is conflicting information in the article as to whether the Chinese state owns part of Hikvision, or if it used to owned part of the company. If the Chinese state owns part of the company it would be good to include the percentage if that information is available.Jonpatterns (talk) 08:09, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

It just removed by some new Wikipedian or someone associated with Hikvision. Moreover it is a bit odd to state the government own how much stake. Seem it is more appropriate to state the stake held by the mega state-owned conglomerate. Matthew_hk tc 09:05, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Adding information about any and all owners improves the article, including government, mega state-owned conglomerates and others.Jonpatterns (talk) 12:41, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Dead Links

Hi, my name is Mike with Hikvision. I noticed that citation #27 on our page – “Jeffrey He, president of Hikvision North America, had criticized the online blogger site for allegedly seeking financial gain” – and citations #11 and #12 – “Hikvision has been listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange since 2010. The company provides surveillance products to the global market via more than 2,400 partners in 155 countries and regions and has its presence in 18 locations around the world” – are dead links. Due to my conflict of interest, can other users help review and remove these passages from the page? Thank you!

Request for updated company information

Hi, my name is Mike with Hikvision. There is a request to update information in the “Overview” section of our page. Citation #2 is linked to our 2021 Quarter 1 Financial Report and it should be used to replace outdated information on the page. The intro – “Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co., Ltd., often shortened to Hikvision, is a Chinese state-owned manufacturer and supplier of video surveillance equipment for civilian and military purposes, headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Its controlling shares are owned by the Chinese government” – should be updated – “Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co., Ltd., often shortened to Hikvision, is a manufacturer and supplier of video surveillance equipment for civilian and military purposes, headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The company is 42% owned by Chinese state investors.” Additionally, the ownership information – “As of 31 December 2017 Hikvision was owned by China Electronics Technology HIK Group Co., Ltd. (HIK Group, 中电海康集团有限公司), a wholly owned subsidiary of China Electronics Technology Group, which has a 39.59% stake. China Electronics Technology Group is a state-run enterprise that is owned and supervised by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council.” – should be updated “As of 17 April 2021, Hikvsion’s largest shareholder is China Electronics Technology HIK Group Co., Ltd. (HIK Group, 中电海康集团有限公司), which owns a 38.88% stake. HIK Group is a subsidiary of China Electronics Technology Group, which is owned and supervised by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council.” Due to my conflict of interest, can other users help review and update these passages on the page? Thank you!
