Let’s jump right into that below to see what has shares of Chinese stocks falling today!

Chinese Stocks Taking a Beating

  • DiDi Global (NYSE:DIDI) stock is first on our list with the company’s shares dropping 3.5% as of Wednesday afternoon. This comes after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced a probe into the company’s 2021 initial public offering (IPO). On top of that, a shareholder meeting over delisting the stock is coming up later this month.
  • Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) shares are next with the company’s stock falling 1.7% as of this writing. That follows reports of the company’s founder, Jack Ma, being arrested. These turned out to be false but that couldn’t stop shares of BABA from losing ground today.
  • JD.com (NASDAQ:JD) stock joins our list with shares heading 1.7% lower as of Wednesday afternoon. That’s despite the company announcing a special cash dividend. Instead, it looks like the stress on Chinese stocks is pulling it down.
  • Pinduoduo (NASDAQ:PDD) is our last Chinese stock falling today with a 2.6% decline this afternoon. There’s no specific news behind this so it’s likely moving in sympathy with the other stocks in its sector.
