Show Notes
Trip.com just nose-dived nearly 20% overnight, blindsiding investors with a sudden antitrust investigation from Chinese regulators. It was supposed to be the "safe" bet in Chinese tech, riding high on a post-pandemic travel boom and new visa-free policies—but now, fears of a renewed crackdown are back. In this episode, we break down why the "King of Travel" is under fire, what a potential breakup of its dominance means for the stock, and whether this massive drop is a discount or a value trap.
