US lawmakers have called on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to delist Alibaba and other Chinese companies from US stock exchanges. Meanwhile, Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong are advancing dividend payments to the second quarter, a strategy aimed at mitigating yuan volatility throughout the year. In a related development, Ant Group, a major Chinese fintech company affiliated with Alibaba, is reportedly planning an initial public offering (IPO) for its international unit in Hong Kong. This unit accounts for approximately 20% of Ant Group's revenue. The potential IPO has drawn market attention, with Alibaba's stock experiencing a decline in premarket trading following the news.
