"Big Short" Michael Burry is piling into three market-leading businesses that share a common theme.

Scion Asset Management's 13F shows that Burry bought 250,000 shares of China 's No. 2 e-commerce player JD.com (NASDAQ: JD ) and 50,000 Shares of Baidu (NASdaq: BIDU) and Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) Burry gained notoriety for being in this contrarian camp during the financial crisis from 2007 through 2009 .

Alibaba ended the September quarter with approximately $57 billion in net-cash, which includes restricted cash.

Alibaba generates a lot of its revenue as a third -party marketplace.

JD operates more like Amazon and controls the inventory and logistics that follow an online order.

For contrarian investors, all three China -based stocks offer a favorable risk-versus-reward profile.
