HONG KONG -- After Alibaba Group Holding's sellout secondary listing in Hong Kong, bankers are wooing other U.S.-listed Chinese companies with a combined market capitalization of almost $400 billion to follow suit.

Bankers especially are pitching Hong Kong to fast-growing technology companies that have high brand recognition among Chinese investors, with Nasdaq-listed e-retailer JD.com and internet search company Baidu at the top of their list.
