The back-to-back pullbacks in Nio and XPeng shares come a day before the U.S. House of Representatives is slated to consider a measure in which China-based companies listed on U.S. exchanges would have to undergo annual audits that are reviewed by U.S. regulators or be delisted. The declines also come after the stocks enjoyed massive rallies in November.
