What are rights issues and rights issues in the US stock market, and what is the difference between the two?
1. Rights issue
Provide stock index companies with the option to issue new stocks for existing shareholders to subscribe to; This is also one of the ways in which the company raises funds.

After the company announces the rights issue, eligible shareholders will receive a Right Issue to subscribe for new shares based on their current shareholding ratio. This means that the existing shareholders will have the right to purchase an additional new share of the old stock they hold, and the rights issue price will generally be lower than the market price to attract existing shareholders to purchase.
The rights issue of US stocks and the rights issue of A-shares are quite similar, but the rights issue of US stocks can be transferred, while the rights issue of A-shares cannot be transferred.

2. Rights issue
Rights issue refers to the distribution of shares by a company to individuals or legal entities to raise funds for the company, at a price generally discounted from the stock price. The concept of rights issue in the US stock market is similar to the targeted issuance of A-shares.
 
3. Difference
Rights issue: Each shareholder can receive rights issues and can choose to participate or not participate in the rights issue. If they do not participate, their rights will be diluted, which is relatively fair to each shareholder compared to rights issues.
Rights issue: Shareholders may not be able to participate in the company's rights issue, and the equity of shareholders who did not participate in the rights issue will be directly diluted.
