Chinese Companies Listed in the USA - A Query

Hi guys, wanted to ask your opinion on why the stock prices of Chinese companies are dropping on all the recent tariffs when a lot of the current operations/sales are actually NOT in USA?

For E.g., Alibaba, JD.com and VIPs and Farfetch are all technology companies with minimal ties to USA.

Cna someone explain to me the relationship between a foreign company (listed in another country but with operations in its home country) and its effect of a recession/bad news on price ? I.e. Chinese companies listing in NYSE but with operations outside of USA, and a USA recession ensues.

Also why would a company want to list in another country? Why not just do it domestically?

Thanks.

All help is good!
