Just about all foreign companies listed on US exchanges use ADRs (American Depositary Receipt) to register their shares with the SEC, including BABA. When a company goes bankrupt it doesnt matter if you own the actual share or ADR. Both will have no value. The stock market as a whole is a house of cards. I'm sure you already know that.

Have to love a company who's stock is overvalued by almost 230% and the majority of it's non Chinese citizen shareholders technically don't even own shares of the company they are invested in. BABA is perhaps worth $35 a share IF you could actually buy shares in the firm instead of de facto paper promissary notes on future earnings from a black hole of Calcutta holding company in the Cayman Islands. When this house of cards collapses it's going to make the Madoff pyramid look like a fixed high school football game....
