Mainland China's CSRC (China Securities Regulatory Commission) and SAFE (State Administration of Foreign Exchange) tightly restrict retail forex trading on international pairs for domestic residents. Offshore forex CFD platforms are officially prohibited for mainland Chinese residents, though international trading activity persists through various channels. Traders in mainland China primarily access global markets through internationally licensed platforms, typically via Hong Kong or offshore entities.
