Pinduoduo $PDD stock and the microchip ban
Shares of many Chinese stocks that trade on U.S. stock exchanges, like Pinduoduo $PDD struggled last week after the Biden Administration announced stricter microchip exporting rules.
The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security imposed new export controls requiring U.S. companies seeking to sell certain semiconductor chips or other hardware to China to apply for a license. Foreign companies that use tools made in the U.S. to manufacture certain chips would also have to apply for licenses.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continued to name Chinese stocks trading on U.S. exchanges that could eventually get delisted under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (HFCAA). The law states that if U.S. financial regulators do not properly audit foreign companies for three straight years, they can no longer trade on U.S. stock exchanges.
