Companies In News: Chinese e-commerce giants listed in the U.S. have seen more of their shares shift to the Hong Kong market as Beijing failed to impress American regulators. 

Almost 77% of JD.com Inc's shares are circulating in Hong Kong's clearing and settling system as of April 19, versus 44% at the start of the year. Alibaba's Hong Kong-listed share portion rose to 56% from 53% in the same period.
