I know it’s weird that they’re regulating their markets instead of a manipulating it through tweets.
Ya. Back to the usual. Just crackdowns.
It's what China is famous for. Why you think no one wants to invest in China.
Mainlanders can buy HK stocks through northbound and southbound connect. No problems with that and that's NOT GOING TO CHANGE.
Chinese government is promoting HK/CHINA stocks and not US stocks
I asked Gemini. TLDR The regulation targets the loophole that allowed mainland Chinese citizens to use offshore brokers (like Futu or Tiger Brokers) to buy US and Hong Kong stocks.

What the fuck are you babbling about? Mainlanders were NEVER allowed to trade US stocks. FUTU Decided to risk their stockbroker licenses to earn extra profit.
Hong Kong accounts remain unaffected and business as usual
Sorry but how it influence baba business ?
for the 100th time, IT DOES NOT. Ant Finance subsidiary has ceased this practices 3 years ago

Sentiments. All China ADRs are down considerably.
The headlines are confusing the algos!
The market is reading this wrong. People are encouraged to buy HK STOCKS AND NOT US STOCKS
Not US stocks INCLUDING ADRs, which they are forced to sell if currently holding. Some mainlanders used these platforms to buy BABA and other Chinese stocks listed on US stock exchange
It literally is a crackdown of a loophole - people are being forced to liquidate their holdings and big fines or more are coming. You're being super naive if you dont think this affects BABA. The sentiment around the Chinese govt and companies was already very poor, this only makes it worse
It triggers ptsd among investors like me
This doesn't affect BABA in anyway. The headlines doesn't explain that mainlanders were never allowed to trade stocks to begin with
Yes. The issue was Futu took the risk. Ant Finance didn't and ceases these practices 3 years ago
