Abstract

With the deepening of economic globalization, many Chinese enterprises will conduct transactions in overseas markets. At the beginning, Chinese concept stocks were favored by overseas markets. However, as the trade friction between China and the United States intensified and Chinese concept stocks became increasingly important in overseas capital markets, short selling incidents occurred frequently. Therefore, whether Chinese concept stocks can successfully cope with the short selling crisis has become the key to the survival and development of enterprises. As a representative of Chinese concept stocks being shorted, Anta's successful counterattack against short selling can provide reference and experience for Chinese concept stocks. This article will take Anta Sports' counterattack against Muddy Waters' short selling as an example, combined with relevant financial data and information disclosure records, to assess how Chinese concept stocks can effectively deal with short selling crises and put forward relevant strategic suggestions.
