> As far as the trade war is concerned, I think it's a little premature to assume that it will drag on and increase in its scope and scale. Apple has pull in D.C., and the interconnected nature of the global economy will likely ensure that there will be a resolution to this at some point in the near future. Alibaba just decided to IPO (again) in Hong Kong -- as opposed to offering more shares through their existing US exchange. Given the timing of this decision, it sounds like at least their leadership think this trade war may go on for a while.

There is another reason for that. Alibaba has always wanted to be listed in HK. But system in places requires all shares has equal right, you don't get those A B C Shares in US where they have little to zero voting right. Jack Ma said the these rules are old and US way of cooperate ownership is the way going forward. Which leads to Alibaba went to US to be listed. Now HK has relaxed its rules a little bit. So this is the major reason why Alibaba is coming back to HK.
