It still hasn't eliminated the risk that US won't delist the China stocks, as the China companies will be required to open their accounts to audits. And, who knows? It could be a can of worms if they open for audit?

PolyQ : it has nothing to do with the risk of delisting itself. it is all about sentiment, which turns into market fluctuation. if you follow the right steps you win, if you miss a step, you lose.

102646779 PolyQ : There's no denying that sentiment plays a factor in the price fluctuations. However, it's also because there are a lot of other issues to consider besides the risk of delisting for BABA. Else, HFs and institutions wouldn't reduce their holdings in BABA in the recent quarters.

Investing 101 102646779 : Baba already clarified they are audited by US firms. The main issue for US was they wanted their own firms to audit the China companies. Otherwise fake earnings and reports could be given.
