The brokers reviewed on this page offer stock and ETF trading to investors in China, with each assessed for regulation, fees, platform features, and available markets. Domestic securities trading falls under the supervision of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), which sets licensing standards and enforces requirements for fund segregation and investor protection. The majority of retail access to Chinese equities is through brokers connected to the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, both regulated by the CSRC. International brokers face strict access limitations, so most platforms available to residents are locally licensed and operate in accordance with CSRC guidelines.
