Republican financial officers from 21 to 23 U.S. states have formally urged the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to consider delisting Chinese companies from U.S. stock exchanges. The call, supported by top state Republicans, targets firms such as Alibaba, Baidu, JD.com, and others, citing concerns over risks of fraud, abuse, and the failure to protect American investors. The officials have requested SEC Chairman Paul Atkins to investigate these companies, emphasizing national security and investor protection. This push aligns with broader political efforts, including those by President Trump, to prioritize American interests. However, some market analysts and observers argue that these Chinese companies comply with U.S. laws and that delisting could diminish Wall Street's global relevance. The issue remains under active discussion as the SEC faces pressure to act on these concerns.
