Congress passes delisting bill threatening non-compliant Chinese companies

The United States Congress has approved legislation that threatens to delist foreign companies that fail to comply with U.S. audit requirements. On Dec. 2, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which bars securities of foreign companies from being listed in the U.S. if they have failed to submit their audits to be inspected by the U.S. Public Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) for three consecutive years, starting in 2021.
