China private firms shun US as investment, IPO destination, survey shows


Despite the trade tensions, Chinese CEOs remain committed to global expansion, but have shifted their focus from the U.S. to Southeast Asia, Europe and Africa, according to a survey conducted jointly by China's prestigious Tsinghua University and Marcum Bernstein and Pinchuk LLP (MarcumBP), a leading auditor for U.S.-listed Chinese companies.

SHANGHAI: Chinese private firms are shunning the United States in their overseas expansion, and generally prefer a home listing to a U.S. initial public offering (IPO), a private survey showed on Tuesday, highlighting the trade war's impact on executive decision-making.

The survey is released at a time when U.S. politicians are calling for tighter scrutiny over Chinese investment and capital-raising, while Beijing is encouraging domestic listings by Chinese companies.
