上述消息一出,在美上市的中資企業(yè)股票逆勢(shì)下挫 : 尚德機(jī)構(gòu)跌12.18%,寺庫(kù)跌9.03%,華米科技跌8.65%,阿里巴巴跌2.48%,百度跌2.09%,攜程跌2.03%,百濟(jì)神州跌2.99%。
報(bào)道分析,雖然該該法案可能適用于任何尋求進(jìn)入美國(guó)資本的外國(guó)公司,但議員們說(shuō),加強(qiáng)信息披露要求的舉措“主要是針對(duì)北京”。該法案參議員獲得兩黨一致通過(guò)(注:這種情況在美國(guó)不多見(jiàn)),反映出美國(guó)議員們對(duì)“中國(guó)漠視美國(guó)財(cái)務(wù)披露標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”的憤怒。
矛盾與爭(zhēng)議的焦點(diǎn)
美國(guó)參議院通過(guò)的這項(xiàng)《外國(guó)公司問(wèn)責(zé)法案》與中國(guó)相關(guān)法規(guī)相沖突。
中國(guó)有關(guān)法律規(guī)定,跨境證券監(jiān)管事宜應(yīng)通過(guò)中國(guó)證監(jiān)會(huì)進(jìn)行,現(xiàn)場(chǎng)檢查應(yīng)以中國(guó)監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)為主進(jìn)行,或者依賴中國(guó)監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)的檢查結(jié)果。而該法案規(guī)定,如果某家在美國(guó)上市的公司聘用一家不受外國(guó)會(huì)計(jì)公司會(huì)計(jì)監(jiān)督委員會(huì)(PCAOB)檢查的會(huì)計(jì)師事務(wù)所進(jìn)行審計(jì),那么該法規(guī)將要求一家外國(guó)公司證明自己“不為外國(guó)政府所擁有或操縱”。如果上述監(jiān)督委員會(huì)連續(xù)3年無(wú)法對(duì)該公司的進(jìn)行檢查,那么相關(guān)公司發(fā)行的證券將被禁止在全美交易所交易。根據(jù)美媒報(bào)道和所謂指控,爭(zhēng)論的焦點(diǎn)是中國(guó)長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)拒絕允許PCAOB審核在紐約證券交易所、那斯達(dá)克和其他美國(guó)交易所上市的公司審計(jì)結(jié)果。
PCAOB一直鮮為人知,該機(jī)構(gòu)是2002年為應(yīng)對(duì)安然會(huì)計(jì)丑聞而成立的核查部門(mén),其目的是防止可能導(dǎo)致股東蒙受損失的欺詐和不當(dāng)行為。中國(guó)和美國(guó)上述爭(zhēng)論焦點(diǎn)問(wèn)題上一直存在分歧。據(jù)外媒報(bào)道,一些白宮人士一直在敦促川普對(duì)審計(jì)核查采取更強(qiáng)硬的立場(chǎng)。
上周,川普在接受福克斯商業(yè)臺(tái)采訪時(shí)表示,他正「關(guān)注」在紐約證交所和那斯達(dá)克掛牌但不遵守美國(guó)會(huì)計(jì)準(zhǔn)則的中國(guó)公司。不過(guò),他也表示,打擊可能會(huì)適得其反,并只會(huì)導(dǎo)致這些公司轉(zhuǎn)向倫敦或香港的交易所。
中概股排隊(duì)回歸?
據(jù)報(bào)道,A股已向海外上市企業(yè)敞開(kāi)懷抱,放寬紅籌結(jié)構(gòu)企業(yè)的上市標(biāo)準(zhǔn)便是一項(xiàng)證明。
今年4月,證監(jiān)會(huì)發(fā)布《關(guān)于創(chuàng)新試點(diǎn)紅籌企業(yè)在境內(nèi)上市相關(guān)安排的公告》,為有意愿在境內(nèi)主板、中小板、創(chuàng)業(yè)板和科創(chuàng)板上市的創(chuàng)新試點(diǎn)紅籌企業(yè)提供路徑。其中,就已境外上市的紅籌企業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn),放寬至市值200億元人民幣以上,且擁有自主研發(fā)、國(guó)際領(lǐng)先技術(shù),科技創(chuàng)新能力較強(qiáng),同行業(yè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中處于相對(duì)優(yōu)勢(shì)地位。同時(shí),創(chuàng)業(yè)板試點(diǎn)注冊(cè)制實(shí)施的更加多元的上市條件,也允許符合條件的特殊股權(quán)結(jié)構(gòu)企業(yè)和紅籌企業(yè)在創(chuàng)業(yè)板上市、為未盈利企業(yè)上市預(yù)留空間。
除A股外,阿里巴巴的赴港上市,及京東、網(wǎng)易、百度、攜程等回港的消息,也引發(fā)了市場(chǎng)開(kāi)始評(píng)估中概股回歸的可能性。去年,中芯國(guó)際結(jié)束了在紐約證交所的雙重上市,目前僅在香港上市。本月,中芯國(guó)際本月公布了在上??萍紕?chuàng)新板上市的計(jì)劃,該事件被認(rèn)為是有重要方向標(biāo)意義的有意重大事件。
回歸A股的利與弊
申萬(wàn)宏源認(rèn)為,中概股回歸利于擴(kuò)容國(guó)內(nèi)市場(chǎng)核心資產(chǎn)池,亦有助公司價(jià)值發(fā)現(xiàn),利好公司的流動(dòng)性和估值水平。
日經(jīng)中文網(wǎng)分析,美國(guó)納斯達(dá)克交易所提出更為嚴(yán)格的新上市標(biāo)準(zhǔn),中國(guó)企業(yè)在美國(guó)上市的難度加大,中國(guó)企業(yè)正被迫調(diào)整融資戰(zhàn)略。中國(guó)方面已開(kāi)始鼓勵(lì)企業(yè)在本土上市。但在中國(guó)本土上市也有不利的一面。首先是籌措的資金是人民幣,不是美元。人民幣在換匯和匯款方面有各種制約,特別是在人民幣貶值時(shí),各種限制會(huì)被強(qiáng)化。由于美元的籌措不穩(wěn)定,企業(yè)的海外業(yè)務(wù)將抱有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。2017年至2018年時(shí),海外投資者對(duì)新興企業(yè)的投資欲望高,即使是虧損企業(yè)也有籌措巨額資金的可能。在中國(guó)本土的上市,有可能獲得不了像海外一樣高的企業(yè)評(píng)價(jià)。
根據(jù)美國(guó)證監(jiān)會(huì)(SEC)的數(shù)據(jù),中國(guó)目前有224家市值合計(jì)超過(guò)1.8萬(wàn)億美元的在美上市公司。

Mr. KENNEDY (for himself and Mr. VAN HOLLEN) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs
A BILL
To amend the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to require certain issuers to disclose to the Securities and Exchange Com- mission information regarding foreign jurisdictions that prevent the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board from performing inspections under that Act, and for other purposes.
Be it encacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act’’.
SEC. 2. DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT.
Section 104 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (15 U.S.C. 7214) is amended by adding at the end the fol- lowing:
‘‘(i) DISCLOSURE REGARDING FOREIGN JURISDIC- TIONS THAT PREVENT INSPECTIONS.—
‘‘(1) DEFINITIONS.—In this subsection—
‘‘(A) the term ‘covered issuer’ means an issuer that is required to file reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m; 78o(d)); and
‘‘(B) the term ‘non-inspection year’ means, with respect to a covered issuer, a year—
‘‘(i) during which the Commission identifies the covered issuer under para- graph (2)(A) with respect to every report described in subparagraph (A) filed by the covered issuer during that year; and
‘‘(ii) that begins after the date of the enactment of this subsection.
‘‘(2) DISCLOSURE TO COMMISSION.—The Commission shall—
‘‘(A) identify each covered issuer that, with respect to the preparation of the audit report on the financial statement of the covered issuer that is included in a report described in paragraph (1)(A) filed by the covered issuer, retains
a registered public accounting firm that has a branch or office that—
‘‘(i) is located in a foreign jurisdic- tion; and
‘‘(ii) the Board is unable to inspect under this section; and
‘‘(B) require each covered issuer identified
under subparagraph (A) to, in accordance with the rules issued by the Commission under para- graph (4), submit to the Commission docu- mentation that establishes that the covered issuer is not owned or controlled by a govern- mental entity in the foreign jurisdiction de- scribed in subparagraph (A)(i).
‘‘(3) TRADING PROHIBITION AFTER 3 YEARS OF NON-INSPECTIONS.—
‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—If the Commission de- termines that a covered issuer has 3 consecutive non-inspection years, the Commission shall pro- hibit the securities of the covered issuer from being traded on a national securities exchange.
‘‘(B) REMOVAL OF INITIAL PROHIBI- TION.—If, after the Commission imposes a pro- hibition on a covered issuer under subparagraph (A), the covered issuer certifies to the Commission that the covered issuer has re- tained a registered public accounting firm that the Board has inspected under this section to the satisfaction of the Commission, the Com- mission shall end that prohibition.
‘‘(C) RECURRENCE OF NON-INSPECTION YEARS.—If, after the Commission ends a prohi- bition under subparagraph (B) or (D) with re- spect to a covered issuer, the Commission deter- mines that the covered issuer has a non-inspec- tion year, the Commission shall prohibit the se- curities of the covered issuer from being traded on a national securities exchange.
‘‘(D) REMOVAL OF SUBSEQUENT PROHIBI- TION.—If, after the end of the 5-year period be- ginning on the date on which the Commission imposes a prohibition on a covered issuer under subparagraph (C), the covered issuer certifies to the Commission that the covered issuer will re- tain a registered public accounting firm that the Board is able to inspect under this section, the Commission shall end that prohibition.
‘‘(4) RULES.—Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this subsection, the Commission shall issue rules that establish the manner and
form in which a covered issuer shall make a disclo- sure and a submission required under clauses (i) and (ii) of paragraph (2)(B), respectively.’’.
