Why Baidu, NetEase, and Alibaba Stocks Keep Falling

Fears about investing in Chinese tech stocks reached a fever pitch Monday, as international megabank J.P. Morgan announced “double-downgrades” on three of the biggest names in China tech: Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU), NetEase (NASDAQ: NTES), and Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE: BABA).

For one thing, there’s the continuing risk that a whole lot of Chinese stocks — even the big ones — might have to delist from U.S. stock exchanges if China’s government can’t find a way to work with their U.S. counterparts to permit full and accurate auditing of Chinese companies’ financial reports.
