• Why have some short sellers begun to take long positions in Chinese stocks?
• What is the risk that Chinese branches of Big Four auditors will be deregistered?
• What are the most important things investors should look at when considering a China equity?
• What is the prospect for Chinese "go privates" to relist in China or Hong Kong?

"With China's economy on the mend, the outlook for many listed companies has been improving. However, many Chinese growth stocks trade at deep discounts due to lingering concerns about accounting and governance issues. Management teams are asking if a U.S. listing provides a suitable environment for Chinese issuers to thrive and access capital in the future," said Mr. Coulson.

"Many U.S. investors have started to reevaluate opportunities in China sector but a much larger number of funds have eliminated exposure to U.S.-listed China stocks. I look forward to sharing my observations and exchanging thoughts with my fellow panelists and audience on key drivers to improve market sentiment toward Chinese stocks, as well as strategies and tools that Chinese managers can employ to enhance investor confidence."
