TOKYO/NEW YORK -- Chinese shares are facing renewed risk of being delisted in the U.S. after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said such a move was possible, refueling a long-running dispute.

Asked if he would be open to removing Chinese shares from U.S. exchanges, Bessent said during a media interview last week, "I think everything's on the table." He added that it will ultimately be President Donald Trump's decision.
