I’m slightly confused about China and the options listed as despite there being big name companies such as Tencent and Xiaomi, there aren’t many options listed for the Chinese market in-app (not including emerging market options)
Do Chinese Companies have to be listed outside of mainland China in order to receive investments? (Thinking about China’s protectionist policy)
Does the US-China trade war play any part in what options can be listed?
The only Chinese companies you’ll find on Freetrade at the minute are ones which are listed, or dual-listed, in New York or London. Many of these bigger firms like Alibaba and JD.com are only listed on either the NYSE or Nasdaq.
But in general, I think it’s quite difficult to buy shares in companies on the Shanghai Stock Exchange if you’re not Chinese. You’d want a Chinese company to be listed in Hong Kong to be able to invest in them.
Ah less complicated than I thought 
So just be clear, as an example I could request that Tencent be listed as its on the NYSE and SEHK, but I cannot request Bitmain as its only on the Chinese Stock Exchange?
