In a press release, United Food and Commercial Workers International Union calls on public pension funds invested in KKR Asian Fund III to divest of Cue Group, a Chinese artificial intelligence company that collaborated with an arm of the Ministry of Public Security, the organ that oversees the surveillance system in China.
“We believe it is fundamentally wrong for public employees’ retirement to fund any collaboration with China’s repressive surveillance state,” says UFCW in letters delivered to KKR Asian Fund III limited partners.
