Foreign participation in China’s investment market

The Chinese investment market has been fast changing over the past two decades since it started. The first decade between 1998-2008 was built with the assistance of foreign participation, paving the way for the emergence of local players during the next decade between 2009-2019. The market is now maturing, with both institutional and retail sectors rapidly growing. A multi-faced ecosystem has developed embracing diversity as well as specialisation. Although there are now multiple avenues for foreign participation, Chinese regulators can do a lot more to internationalise the industry .
