紐約證交所又變卦
The New York Stock Exchange reversed course again on January 6, saying it would delist three major Chinese telecom companies less than two days after it halted the plan.
紐約證券交易所1月6日又改弦更張，宣佈中國三大電信公司將下市，離先前這項計畫暫停還不到兩天的時間。

The NYSE originally announced on January 1 it would delist China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom to comply with a White House executive order. It then reversed that decision on January 4 and said it would no longer delist the telecoms.

Now, in a second flip, the NYSE moved forward to delist the companies. The second about-face comes after the US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin reportedly called NYSE President Stacey Cunningham to object to the exchange’s earlier reversal.
如今，紐約證交所二度變卦，這些公司還是要下市。據報導，美國財政部部長努欽打電話給證交所總裁康寧漢，反對交易所稍早的態度轉變，紐約證交所才二度變卦。

The exchange said the latest reversal was due to new guidance from the Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, indicating that people in the U.S. could not engage in certain transactions with the three companies.
證交所說，最新的轉變是由於美國財政部外國資產管制局的新指引，指示美國人不能與這三家公司進行某些交易。

The delisting decision of the Chinese telecom giants is based on an executive order which restricts American companies and individuals from investing in Chinese companies with links to the Chinese military, as part of an effort from President Donald Trump to increase pressure on China in the final weeks of his presidency.
將這些中國電信巨頭下市的決定是根據一項行政命令，限制美國公司和個人投資與中國軍方有關聯的中資公司，也是川普總統在他總統任期的最後幾週增加對中國施壓的手段。
