Chinese regulators have ramped up their involvement in several sectors recently -- most notably the tech sector as well as Chinese education companies. But that's beginning to spread, and investors don't like uncertainty. The stock of electric vehicle maker Nio (NYSE: NIO) took a hit earlier this week when the EV sector got mentioned. Today, Nio shares are dropping again, as another industry comes under scrutiny. After dropping as much as 2.5% earlier, as of 1:25 p.m. EDT the stock was down almost 1%.

He specifically said the country has "too many" EV makers.
