CHINA! How do you invest in china? And what areas are you allowed to invest in?

Answer 1

Unless you are an institutional investor, there is no restriction on which sectors you can invest in.

Shares of many Chinese companies are listed on a number of exchanges outside of China such as NASDAQ, NYSE, HKSE (Hong Kong) and SGX (Singapore). In China, shares are traded on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges and B class shares are available for non-Chinese to invest in. However, B shares are not very popular so the liquidity is very low.

Answer 2

You can invest in stocks, bonds and ETFs (in this case a basket of stocks from China). Some Chinese stocks are traded in the U.S. You would be taking a huge risk with China, because much of China is corrupt, to the point that CEOs have no idea how many workers they have and pictures of their businesses are actually pictures of businesses from other countries. Although China makes a lot of products for the U.S., the real money is from U.S. companies that have outsourced their work to China. The Chinese end up with about 1/3 of the money which is then shared by over 1 billion people.

If you want to invest in developing nations that are less corrupt, think India, Brazil, Brazil, South Korea or an Eastern European country.

Answer 3

Hi, this is Bruce from China, i think software outsourcing is the best industry in China. Chinese goverment has published most of preferential treatment policies for this industry. China will catch up with India to be the biggest outsourcing in Asis. More importance is that we have very cheaper labor.
