U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent: Excluding Chinese companies from the U.S. stock market is not ruled out.
By March this year, a total of 286 Chinese companies were listed on U.S. stock exchanges.
In an interview with FOX News, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent again mentioned China's retaliatory tariffs, stating that excluding Chinese companies from the U.S. stock market is not ruled out.
As of March 7, 2025, a total of 286 Chinese companies were listed on U.S. stock exchanges, with a total market value of $1.1 trillion. This figure represents a significant increase compared to the $848 billion market value at the beginning of 2024. Since January 2024, 48 Chinese companies have been listed on the three U.S. exchanges, raising a total of $2.1 billion through initial public offerings (IPOs).
Chinese companies going public in the U.S. have followed the rules of the U.S. capital market, bringing substantial returns to American investors and adding vitality to the U.S. financial market. Now, the U.S. attempts to exclude Chinese companies using political means, which is a bullying act that severely disrupts market fairness and international economic order.
The U.S.-China tariff war has escalated further. U.S. President Trump announced a 104% tariff on China, which took effect on Wednesday. China then announced an 84% tariff on all U.S. imports. Trump subsequently announced that the tariff on some Chinese goods will be increased to 125%, taking immediate effect. At the same time, he declared a "90-day suspension" of the additional tariffs on imports from countries other than China, drawing global attention.
