Stock Track
Oct 11, 2025

Tencent Music Entertainment Group (TME) saw its stock price plummet by 5.03% in Friday's trading session, as U.S.-listed shares of Chinese companies faced a broad selloff. The decline came in response to President Donald Trump's threat of a "massive" increase in U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports, reigniting concerns about the ongoing trade tensions between the world's two largest economies.

The music streaming giant was not alone in its downward trajectory. Other major Chinese tech and e-commerce firms listed in the U.S. also experienced significant drops. E-commerce leaders Alibaba, JD.com, and PDD Holdings saw their shares fall between 5.9% and 6.9%. The negative sentiment spread across various sectors, affecting companies such as Baidu, Li Auto, Nio, and Xpeng, with declines ranging from 2.5% to 7.3%.

The broader impact of Trump's tariff threat was evident in the performance of China-focused ETFs. The iShares MSCI China ETF, China Large-Cap ETF, and KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF all experienced drops between 3.9% and 5.4%, underscoring the widespread concern among investors about the potential economic ramifications of escalating trade tensions. As these developments continue to unfold, market participants will likely keep a close eye on any further statements from both U.S. and Chinese officials that could influence the trading relationship between the two nations.
