    There are quite a few China derivatives exchanges like
    Dailian commodity exchange, Shanghai futures exchange, Zhengzhou commodity exchange, China financial futures exchange.

    I doubt foreigners can trade through these exchanges.

    Are there other possibilites / alternatives to trade through these exchanges ?
     
  2. The regulator, the CSRC, makes an announcement about planning to open up selected futures to foreign investors every year. The latest was last month: https://www.reuters.com/article/chi...urther-china-securities-journal-idUSL4N1M90NU

    Highly likely when it does happen eligibility will be restricted to QFIIs for a long period

    Even if you could find a back door way to trade them and overcome the issues of getting your funds out, I'm not sure why you'd want to: your information asymmetry will be formidable.

    Have you looked at the China-related commodities contracts traded on SGX?

    The HKEx is also introducing an iron ore future next month, but the track record for commodity futures here developing any meaningful volume has been pitiful.

    I looked at SGX's iron ore. volume is rather low.
    So I guess most likely HKEx iron ore volume will also be low.

    Seems like I have to look at other exchanges like those from India.

    Aren't those also closed to foreign investors just like China?

    seems like it is also closed too.

    OK. will look for other exchanges like ICE Europe and ICE US.
    sigh ... have to pay high data fees.

    I think there're several ways:
    1,QFII / RQFII.
    2,WOFE(Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise)
    3,QDLP or just LP.
    4,some forms of MOM.

    To get help into ( and out) China derivatives market, please message me as I knew some good brokers to offer related service, but mostly for larger funds.
