Insights

Corporate governance analyst

SEII discloses a broad board reshuffle, including a new CEO-director.

Sharing Economy International Inc. reported the simultaneous resignation of four directors and appointment of five new directors on January 7, 2026. One of the new appointees, Ximing Huang, is described as president and also signs as chief executive officer.

The filing states that the departing directors did not resign because of disagreements over operations, policies, or practices, which reduces the likelihood of overt governance conflict based on this disclosure alone. The new directors bring experience in electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and automotive engineering.

The company notes there are no related-party transactions requiring disclosure with the new directors and that committee assignments are still pending. Subsequent company disclosures may clarify how these leadership and board changes influence strategy and oversight once committees are formed and the new team’s plans are articulated.
