According to recent reports, China is cracking down further on education companies. That includes no longer allowing them to raise money through stock listings. This comes as China has been working to keep companies based out of it from listing shares on U.S. exchanges.

News of the changes from the government is hitting Chinese education stocks hard this morning. Many of them were falling during pre-market trading today. For some, that has continued into normal trading hours.

Let’s take a look at some of these stocks and see how they are doing now.
