I just received a note from the broker offering to exchange JD.COM ADR shares for 9618.HK. This essentially moves the shares offshore to Hong Kong as a response to the tariff actions which are ongoing.
Same thing with BIDU.
Any thoughts?
They can be held in Hong Kong but dunno what TI would suggest.

Re: JD.COM
Holding them offshore isn’t the real issue; it’s manageable, adds a layer of complexity. The real question is whether your broker will even let you trade them.
What’s happening on the U.S. side isn’t just shortsighted: it’s borderline self-sabotage. While the U.S. tightens its own leash, China’s playing long-term power games, positioning Hong Kong to reclaim its status as a global banking and financial hub.
I’ll dig deeper into this and update you guys, but the core issue remains: if access is blocked at the broker level, none of the rest matters.

Not so much the broker but the administration. Russia invades Ukraine and holders of Russian ADRs are screwed over. In the face of the impending global meltdown, is it wise to hold certain foreign stocks or US companies doing business in the "wrong" countries? Case in point:

"Amid security concerns" WTF! Are they completely insane? My wife helped set up NMCI (Navy Marine Corp Intranet) early 2000s. They had thousands upon thousands of hacking attacks month after month, most of them from China and here's MSFT handing China the fucking keys
