Foreign-listed Chinese stocks rallied on Wednesday after Beijing vowed to keep markets stable, soothing overseas investors’ nerves after a selloff due to worries over differences between China and the West in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Frankfurt-listed depository receipts for Alibaba were among the most traded stocks on the Tradegate and Lang & Schwarz platforms, suggesting interest from German retail investors.
