Alibaba owns the South China Morning Post.\n\nAppaloosa Management, the US hedge fund founded by billionaire investor David Tepper, also increased its bet on Baidu, nearly doubling its stake in the Chinese search-engine operator to 1.3 million ADRs worth about US$148 million during the quarter, its latest 13F filing showed.\n\n[has sought to reinvent itself around AI](https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3316689/china-ai-champion-baidu-rolls-out-most-sweeping-changes-search-platform-decade?module=inline&pgtype=article), spanning its Ernie large language models, cloud computing and autonomous driving.\n\nThe increase in Baidu contrasted with Tepper’s retreat from other Chinese internet companies. Appaloosa slashed its Alibaba holdings by 42 per cent and exited JD.com and PDD Holdings, a notable reversal from late 2024, when Tepper broadly increased his China exposure after pledging to buy “everything” related to the country.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/several-us-billionaire-investors-reshuffle-their-chinese-technology-stocks-amid", "canonical_source": "https://www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3364358/several-us-billionaire-investors-reshuffle-their-chinese-technology-stocks-amid-ai-boom?utm_source=rss_feed", "published_at": "2026-08-18 03:00:17+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-18 03:11:26.400231+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence"], "entities": ["Stanley Druckenmiller", "Duquesne Family Office", "Baidu", "David Tepper", "Appaloosa Management", "Alibaba Group Holding", "JD.com", "PDD Holdings"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/several-us-billionaire-investors-reshuffle-their-chinese-technology-stocks-amid", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/several-us-billionaire-investors-reshuffle-their-chinese-technology-stocks-amid.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/several-us-billionaire-investors-reshuffle-their-chinese-technology-stocks-amid.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/several-us-billionaire-investors-reshuffle-their-chinese-technology-stocks-amid.jsonld"}}
