On June 28, 2020, JD Technology (then JD Digits) filed with the China Security Regulatory Commission to go public on the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market. It had hoped to raise $3.1 billion from the IPO.
But on March 30, 2021, JD Technology submitted a request to the Shanghai Stock Exchange to withdraw its IPO. The cancellation was publicly announced a few days later on April 2. Although JD Technology has not officially stated its reasoning, it’s speculated that the withdrawal occurred because of internal business and management changes.
On March 31, the day after submitting its IPO cancellation request, JD Technology entered into an agreement with its parent company, JD.com, to buy fellow subsidiary, JD Cloud & AI. The transaction increased JD Technology’s assets by USD $2.4 billion.
Increased regulatory scrutiny from the Chinese government has made it challenging for fintech companies like JD Technology and its rival, Ant Group (founded by billionaire Jack Ma), to go public. JD Technology has not ruled out the possibility of having an IPO in the future, although it also hasn’t announced any official plans yet. We’ll update this page as more information becomes available.
Although you won’t be able to buy stock in JD Technology directly, there are 2 ways investors can back the company.
Although it’s a less direct investment than purchasing JD Technology stocks outright, one option is for investors to buy stock in its parent company, JD.com, Inc. The company trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “JD.”

Agreements between Canada and the US require Canadians holding US stock investments to pay the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) a 15% withholding tax on any dividends earned on their US stocks. Interest earned from bonds or other interest-yielding US investments are similarly taxed at a rate of 10%.
An exception is made for stock investments held in trust exclusively designed to provide retirement income. Such trusts include RRIFs, LIRAs, LIFs, LRIFs and Prescribed RRIFs. RRSPs are also exempt from US withholding tax if you own US investments in the form of US stocks, bonds or ETFs.
Investment accounts that do not qualify for this exemption include RESPs, TFSAs and RDSPs.
All income from investments, including foreign investments, must be declared as part of your income on your Canadian tax return. Unless your US earnings are exempt from withholding tax, this means you’ll be double taxed on those earnings — first by the IRS, then by the CRA. However, the CRA may allow you to claim foreign tax credits for any taxes you’ve already paid to the IRS.
