Factbox-U.S.-listed Chinese firms with secondary listings at home and Hong Kong By Reuters

HONG KONG (Reuters) – Ride-hailing giant Didi Global’s move to withdraw from the New York stock exchange has put a spotlight on other U.S.-listed Chinese firms and whether more will jump ship to Hong Kong and elsewhere.

Didi’s plan to withdraw may create an even deeper chill after this year’s drop-off in Chinese firms’ listings in the world’s most liquid market, bankers and advisers have said.

Here’s a FACTBOX on Chinese companies’ U.S. IPOs and their secondary listings in recent years.
