Alibaba Seeks Primary Hong Kong Listing?

Alibaba will seek a primary listing in Hong Kong, entrenching the financial hub's status as an alternative to US markets ahead of a potential exodus of Chinese companies from New York. The move, expected by year-end, will grant hundreds of millions of investors in mainland China direct access to one of the country's most storied names, which in 2014 made waves when it debuted in New York as the largest-ever initial public offering.

Alibaba's action could encourage peers to follow suit, helping cement Hong Kong as an alternative venue.?
