Tencent Music becomes the latest in a string of US-listed Chinese firms to opt for a second listing in Hong Kong to offset the threat of being delisted in New York due to a bilateral dispute between Washington and Beijing over access to auditing papers.

The two sides recently struck a deal to end the decade-long stand off and US. officials are due to arrive in Hong Kong shortly to start reviewing US.-listed Chinese companies.
