Shares of Chinese electric-vehicle maker NIO (NYSE: NIO) were trading lower on Wednesday. Although investors' concerns about U.S.-listed Chinese stocks have lingered since the Chinese government took action against DiDi Global (NYSE: DIDI) and other recently listed stocks last week, there was no immediately obvious trigger for Wednesday's decline.
As of 2 p.m. EDT, NIO's New York-traded shares were down about 4.6% from Tuesday's closing price.
China's government said last week that it has launched cybersecurity reviews on DiDi and other app-centered Chinese companies that have listed on U.S. stock exchanges this year, including Kanzhun and Full Truck Alliance. Regulators appear to be concerned that the audits and oversight required of U.S.-listed companies could somehow compromise the security of Chinese consumers' personal information.
