U.S.-listed Chinese stocks, including Alibaba (NYSE:BABA), Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU), PDD (NASDAQ:PDD), Nio (NYSE:NIO), and XPeng (NYSE:XPEV), extended losses amid escalating geopolitical tensions between Beijing and Washington.
This market pressure intensified after China tightened its rare earth export controls on Thursday, a strategic move ahead of upcoming trade talks. The new regulations, which add five new elements and expand oversight for semiconductor users, aim to bolster Beijing’s control over these critical materials.
