There are several options open to you. There are several ETFs that invest in China. They provide the advantage of allowing you to invest in a diversity of Chinese companies without a large investment. There are also several Chinese companies that you can invest in directly. Contrary to one of your response, there is a way to invest in the China A shares. Not that I recommend it but there is. CAF is a closed end fund investing in Chinese A shares. It currently trades at a whopping 17% discount to net assets despite an 81% return since Sept 2006 when it was launched. Makes my mouth water. There is also CHN selling at a 15% discount to net assets despite a 5 year annual return of 29%.

Also JFC and TDF with similar discounts and returns.

Now considering individual companies there are a few worth considering. CHL and ACH are two. The 1st is the largest cell phone company in the world in the largest country in the world with the fastest growing economy in the world. PE ratio about 24. Dividend about 1.7%. When you compare it to VZ for example at a PE of 20 which is growing about 1/10 as fast seems like a no brainer.

Then there is ACH. Sort of where Alcoa was back in the late 40s. I don't really know what the split adjusted price of Alcoa was back then, but in the last 25 years it has gone up about 10x. Seems to me ACH should better than performance by at least twice.

Invest in alternative energy companies specifically solar panel and fluorescent and led light companies. The Chinese population is so large that the Chinese government is putting a lot of pressure on developing these technologies to help reduce the load on the countries current energy resources and comply with international treaties and pressure on emissions.

The Chinese government is made up of very intelligent people who don't want global warming to happen any more the anyone else does; massive climate changes could spell out major problems for the Chinese growing seasons.

I think that most foreign investors who want to invest in China for the long term would be best served by putting their money in an emerging markets ETF or index fund. Vanguard has one of each. Right now only mainland Chinese citizens can invest in Chinese companies. Most of the "Chinese ETFs" people are pushing now are ADRs (Chinese companies listed on US exchanges), US companies who do business in China, or Hong Kong companies. Foreign investors do not have access to the vast majority of Chinese companies. Also, Chinese citizens are not allowed to invest overseas. Once this restriction is relaxed, I think you will see a net outflow of funds from China as its citizens will be able to choose from investments throughout the world.

Are you in China in the first place? If not, then forget about investing in China... it is not a playground for outsiders.

Maybe cell phones, but the Chinese market might be due for a correction about now.
