$Alibaba(BABA)$So the SEC decided to timingly issue a warning against the 5 Chinese ADRs. This issue had been a dead ender for the last 10 years or more. Only the recent spat between China and USA brought it into the lime light.
The contention is the Chinese Law regarding audits and data securities. That was what ended ANT & DiDi.
So, the 2 parties namely SEC & CSRC is in negotiations and issue a statement that theyare close to finalising a solution. Hence, the CSRC gave the go ahead for VIE listing if it met with their approval. All these are well documented.
Revisiting this issue at this time, I believe it is geopolitically motivated with China's refusal to be coerced into the Russia, Ukraine situation. Thus a little nudge.
So, I will believe the SEC when they force 250 Chinese ADRs to be delisted in 2024. It will destroy the US investors too.
The SEC cannot even rein in Elon Musk.
