Chinese stock exchanges add Alibaba into Stock Connect Scheme
China's Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges will include Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group and some other companies into its Stock Connect cross-border investment scheme from Tuesday, separate filings showed on Monday. This move will integrate Alibaba into a program linking the Shenzhen and Shanghai stock exchanges with the Hong Kong stock exchange. Alibaba's shareholders had previously approved the upgrade of its Hong Kong listing to primary status, effective Aug. 28, a move that is expected to attract huge investments from mainland China.
