Trusting the Chinese government can be a struggle at times for investors.

AliBaba’s business and stock are heading in opposite directions, but one day soon we will find a capitulation.

Over the past few months I have checked in a few times on Chinese tech giant AliBaba (NYSE:BABA).

Many of these stocks are at their cheapest levels in years, and yet investors simply do not want to deal with the uncertainty.

I am wading right into controversy in this week’s Better Investment comparison.

Back in April, I wondered if China stocks were untouchable given the current climate where AliBaba (NYSE:BABA) founder Jack Ma went missing from the public eye.

Much has been made about the recent performance of Chinese companies as some unknown headwinds are blowing in their direction

The ground-breaking announcement from Baba came in the form of a partnership with China’s largest automaker SAIC Motor, to launch a new electric vehicle sedan in the world’s largest automotive market.

It has not been the best way to end the year for Chinese stocks as first, electric vehicle maker Kandi (NASDAQ:KNDI) was hit with fraudulent accusations about their sales reporting and now, the Chinese government is investigating Ali Baba (NYSE:BABA).

iQIYI holds second place in the Chinese video streaming market. Though, it has not been able to turn a profit in recent years.
