Chinese companies are increasingly withdrawing their stocks from American exchanges as Washington intensifies regulatory scrutiny and political pressure on firms with ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
Since 2019, over 80 Chinese firms have delisted from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq, with Chinese stocks now representing less than 2% of the total market capitalization on these stock exchanges, according to the WSJ.
The decline coincides with broader efforts by the Trump administration to adopt a tougher stance towards China and crack down on its subversive economic tactics.
While the number of Chinese initial public offerings in the U.S. increased in 2024, most were small firms raising an average of under $7 million, according to the WSJ. The NYSE hasn’t hosted a new Chinese listing since May 2024, when electric carmaker Zeekr went public.
Government-owned companies like China Mobile, China Eastern Airlines and PetroChina went public on American stock exchanges in the 1990s and 2000s. In recent years, however, these companies have been forced to delist from U.S. exchanges, and today, no company explicitly owned by the Chinese government remains listed, according to the WSJ.
