HONG KONG -- Didi Global and other Chinese companies forced off of U.S. stock exchanges have found a new home for their shares in the country: the over-the-counter market.

In OTC trading, also known as off-exchange trading, shares change hands between buyers and sellers directly. There are fewer disclosure requirements for companies trading this way than on major exchanges, but the pool of potential investors tends to be more restricted.
