Forcing Chinese companies to delist their shares from a U.S. exchange could hurt the U.S. more than it does either the Chinese government or the particular companies.

That doesn’t mean that the U.S. House of Representatives shouldn’t pass the delisting bill that the Senate unanimously passed in May. There are sound reasons why all companies whose stocks are listed on an U.S. exchange should adhere to uniform financial reporting standards.

But if your motivation to support this delisting bill is to punish China, you may want to reconsider. These are the conclusions I reached upon interviewing a number of academic experts who have long studied the investment and economic consequences of the listing and delisting of foreign company stocks.
