» Chinese Regulators Nudge Didi Toward Hong Kong Listing - WSJ wsj.com/articles/chine…
Enticing Chinese tech companies trading abroad to list at home or in Hong Kong has been a national priority in recent years. Beijing is concerned that data-rich companies could pose political or national security risks by answering to regulators in the U.S.
Chinese authorities are planning to propose new rules that would ban companies with large amounts of sensitive consumer data from going public in the U.S., The Wall Street Journal has previously reported.
Full Truck Alliance, which provides Uber-like services for China’s trucking industry, is already in the process of exploring an offering in Hong Kong, two people close to the matter said.
Beijing’s campaign to crack the whip on domestic technology companies has already deterred global investors from financing Chinese internet startups and has led to a wave of Chinese tech firms refraining from pursuing listings in the U.S.

“Had U.S. policymakers during the unipolar moment thought in terms of balance-of-power politics, they would have tried to slow Chinese growth and maximize the power gap between Beijing and Washington. But once China grew wealthy, a U.S.-Chinese cold war was inevitable. ”
“Early presidents and their successors worked assiduously to make the United States the most powerful country in the Western Hemisphere. China is acting according to this same realist logic, in effect imitating the United States.”

“This term has been marked by a lack of coherence and by the absence of a doctrine, which has led the president to multiply U-turns on essential issues, such as the role of the state, ecology and security,” he said in the interview.
In what appeared to be an attempt to rally the left against Macron, Hollande also suggested that he had pursued policies promoted by Nicolas Sarkozy, the right-wing president of France between 2007 and 2012.
