With the current change in stance from china, from being more capitalism driven, to full blown authoritarian communist, Chinese companies listed in the US are extremely dangerous to own. As has been seen for the last couple years. The crazy fact, is companies like BABA, aren't actual ownership in the true company. They are a slick shell game.
BABA is in fact, a cayman island VIE shell company. Ownership in US listed BABA, gives absolutely zero ownership in Chinese Alibaba. It only carries a web of contracts that allow a sharing of profit. These types of companies have been getting delisted left and right lately.
These offshore VIE shell companies are set up to bypass Chinese law that forbids outside ownership.
BABA has a better chance of being delisted, then seeing $200 again. In two years, from $300 to $60. The reality of offshore VIE shell companies is becoming well known.
The recent decoupling, and new US regulations that target these offshore VIE shell companies, will not end well for shareholders.
Buyer beware. You are buying an offshore VIE shell company, not the actual Chinese company, Alibaba.
IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN BUT IF IT DOES COUNT ME IN,LMFAO
Lol, yes you and everyone magically bought at the bottom and posted hours later.

China has confirmed, it will push forward with authoritarian communist policy with Xi. They will control everything, from what people can say, to what companies can do. China will be totally dominated by authoritarian communists in every way.
This is incredibly bad for Chinese companies listed in the US, investors, and any seeking freedom.
The decoupling of china and the US will no doubt, move forward.

By: Barchart | October 18, 2022
Good day Traders and Investors. In today’s article, we will look at the past performance of 1 Hour Elliottwave chart of Alibaba (BABA) . The decline from 06.09.2022 high is unfolding as a 5 swings and made a lower low on 09.16.2022 which created a bearish sequence in the 4H timeframe. Therefore, we knew that the structure in $BABA is incomplete to the downside & should see more weakness. So, we advised members to sell the bounces in 3, 7, or 11 swings at the blue box area. We will explain the structure & forecast below:
$BABA 1H Elliottwave Chart 10.04.2022:
Here is the 1H Elliottwave count from 10.04.2022. The decline from 09.12.2022 unfolded in 5 waves creating a bearish sequence. We were calling for the bounce to fail in 3 swings at red 4 where we like to sell it at the equal legs at $82.67 with a stop at $86.34.
$BABA Latest Elliottwave Chart:
Here is the 10.16.2022 1H update showing the move taking place as expected. The stock has reacted lower from the blue box allowing any shorts to get risk free shortly after taking the position.

Alibaba Price is 'Attractive', Citi Sees Potential for Shares to Rally 70%+
By: Investing.com | September 29, 2022
A Citi analyst cut the price target on Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) to $141 from $154 to reflect lowered multiples.
However, the analyst remains bullish on BABA stock given “low expectation and near historical trough valuation,” which makes the current stock price look “attractive.” She especially highlighted Alibaba’s ability to generate strong cash flow.
The analyst has also reflected positively on the company’s efforts to reaccelerate growth and offset losses from the challenging macro environment.
“Thanks to BABA’s effort to enhance shopping content recommendation and improve delivery experience, its ability to deepen consumer wallet shares in higher-spending users helps offset consumption cutback by lower-end consumers. We increased our EBITA assumption reflecting continued optimization of investment spend in strategic initiatives and further operation efficiency improvement,” she wrote in a note to clients.
For FQ2, the analyst is below the consensus for revenue - RMB207.3 billion vs. RMB213.1 billion - but above average analyst estimates for non-GAAP net profit (RMB33 billion vs. RMB29.2 billion).
Alibaba shares are down 3% in pre-market Thursday after closing 4% higher yesterday.

Exclusive-U.S. regulators to vet Alibaba, other Chinese firms' audits -sources
By: Julie Zhu | August 30, 2022
HONG KONG (Reuters) -U.S. regulators have selected e-commerce giant Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) Group Holding Ltd and other U.S.-listed Chinese companies for audit inspections starting next month, three sources familiar with the matter said.
The move follows Friday's landmark audit deal between Beijing and Washington allowing U.S. regulators to vet accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong, potentially ending a long-running dispute that threatened to boot more than 200 Chinese companies from U.S. stock exchanges.
Alibaba has been notified that it is among the first batch of Chinese companies whose audits will be inspected by the U.S. audit watchdog - Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) - in Hong Kong, the sources told Reuters.
PwC, the accounting firm of China's biggest e-commerce company, has also been informed of the audit work inspection, said the sources, declining to be identified due to confidentiality constraints.
Alibaba did not immediately respond to a request for comment while a PwC spokesperson said it was company policy not to comment on any client matters.
A PCAOB spokesperson said the board did not comment on inspections. The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) could not be immediately reached for comment outside of business hours.
U.S. regulators have for more than a decade demanded access to audit papers of U.S.-listed Chinese companies, but Beijing has been reluctant to let U.S. regulators inspect its accounting firms, citing national security concerns.
Alibaba, which went public in New York in 2014 in what was at the time the largest listing in history, is the most valuable Chinese firm listed in the United States with a market value of $256 billion as of Monday.
The PCAOB said on Friday that the watchdog had notified the selected companies, without naming them, and its officials are expected to land in Hong Kong, where the inspections will take place, by mid-September.
The regulator, which oversees audits of U.S.-listed companies, would select companies based on risk factors, such as size and sector, and that no companies could expect special treatment, according to the PCAOB.
Reuters could not immediately determine how many and which other Chinese companies were in the first batch of U.S. inspections.

Good read, thanks for sharing!
The authoritarian communist Chinese, force Chinese companies to give them ALL Data, and forbid them to be transparent to markets they list on, outside of China. They refuse to honor rules, and regulations set up to help protect investors.
China used to be looked at as partners, but have now proven, they are what they are... Authoritarian communists, looking to rule the world. History tells us how this will play out...
Very badly.
One simply can't trust anything, coming out of this increasingly hostile Chinese communist party. Lies, lies, theft, and more lies. Shameful.
Chart Of The Day: Will China's Crackdown On Alibaba Crack The Stock?
By: Investing.com | August 16, 2022
Imagine if Coca-Cola's (NYSE:KO) secret recipe got out, allowing others to begin selling the most consumed soda in the world. Might that impact Coca-Cola's business?
Some of China's biggest tech companies were forced to share their algorithms with Beijing amid a crackdown on data abuse, potentially compromising closely guarded secrets. Many consider these algorithms a crucial component in what makes these companies successful. In recent years privacy issues have been at the heart of political controversies worldwide. So far, big tech companies in the West have kept regulators at bay, arguing their algorithms were trade secrets.
Moreover, the Chinese economy has been showing signs of cooling in the aftermath of its Zero-COVID policy. Retail sales grew 2.7% annually, almost half of the expected 5% forecast and industrial production rose by 3.8%, well below the 4.6% estimate and even last month's 3.9%.
The PBOC thought these figures were worrying and cut interest rates while other major central banks were raising them. This move surprised markets after policymakers resisted lowering borrowing costs after the country's economy stalled in the previous quarter amid the risk of rising debt, consumer inflation, and pressure on its currency.
Softbank (TYO:9984) also showed it had no confidence in China's economy and sold off its Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) shares, cutting its stake from 23.6% to 14.6%. This divestment is noteworthy, considering SoftBank's CEO Masayoshi Son has been famously fiercely bullish on China and unwinding the Japanese conglomerate's most famous investment. One of his best bets is a red flag.
Another institutional investor that dumped Alibaba is Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund. Interestingly enough, Bridgewater shored up its positions in Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL)—companies that have been able to retain their algorithms a secret.
BABA Daily
Alibaba may have been developing a rising wedge. The pattern of highs and lows point in the same direction, while the lows gain on the highs. While the March 15 to May 26 troughs gained 14.24%, the March 23 high to the July 8 peak gained a paltry 2.2%.
Again, the price rose 8.1% between the May 26 and August 2 lows. We're seeing a pattern in which, despite buyers' willingness to buy at ever-increasing prices, they are not seeing any progress in highs. The assumption is that bulls will give up and liquidate, allowing bears to break the range to the downside.
This disappointment is why the rising wedge disrupts a downtrend, and technicians expect them to break in the same direction as the existing trend. Notice how the 200 DMA hit the price back down from the structure's top to below the 50 and 100 DMAs. Let's observe the volume behavior during this range. Spikes have been declining with each gain in the price (red arrow).
Since the beginning of the month, the price has been ranging in a pennant formation. Also, a presumed, albeit smaller, continuation pattern. Bears need to catch their breath after a near-19% plunge in the six sessions that precede the pennant. The lucky bears can't believe their windfall and lock-in profits before it bounces back. However, if the price breaks to the downside, it will demonstrate that the only reason the price ranges this month is that the demand came from bears covering shorts, not because of bulls increasing positions. That realization is expected to pull all the bears back in.
It's essential to understand how everything ties in on the chart. Note that the pennant develops on the very bottom of the rising wedge. The larger pattern provides the smaller pattern support, even as the pennant acts as a market slingshot to break through the wedge's floor.
The wedge's implied target is its low, at $71.25. The pennant's implied target is a repeat of the preceding sharp move from the July 26 high to the August 2 low, a $20 action from the point of breakout, also targeting the $70 level.
Trading Strategies
Conservative traders should wait for both patterns to complete, which will be simultaneous, then wait for the return move to verify the downtrend.
Moderate traders could wait for the same downside breakout and return move to reduce exposure, if not confirm resistance.
Aggressive traders can short upon the downside breakout according to a trading plan that incorporates your timing, budget, and temperament. If you don't know how to do that, here's a generic sample just for practice.
