WELLINGTON, Fla., May 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barbuto & Johansson, P.A. (“BARJO”) and Of Counsel, Neil Rothstein, Esq. (with over 30 years of Securities Class Action experience, including cases against ENRON and HALLIBURTON) advises investors that the U.S. Senate voted yesterday to approve sweeping new legislation that could ultimately bar many Chinese companies from listing shares on U.S. exchanges. The Bill would require Chinese companies to adhere to stricter reporting guidelines.
This morning, according to a Reuters report, Chinese stock, Baidu, Inc. (NasdaqGS: BIDU) is considering delisting from the Nasdaq amid tension between the U.S. and China over investments. The Senate Bill also came just a month or so after several Chinese companies were sued by a class of shareholders for violations of federal securities laws, including but not limited to Baidu, Inc., and Chinese online education company, GSX Techedu, Inc. (NYSE: GSX), and Chinese online video platform, iQIYI, Inc. (NasdaqGS: IQ).
