The US stock market is preferred by many companies as there are good investment opportunities and transparent policies.

The Chinese government plays a crucial role in the creation and growth of companies. If you compare how democratic countries and communist Chinese leaders conduct foreign policies, you’ll get a very different picture. For instance, the US and European governments often stop investing in countries that have high levels of corruption. Chinese foreign policy does not care about authoritarianism, corruption, and the rule of law. All it cares about is resources. 

Rich streams of resources coming from the African continent and other places, cheap energy sources like coal, a huge workforce, and loose environmental policies have made China into the world’s factory. The world's top tech companies are designing their products in Germany, the USA, Italy, and other places, but they choose China for manufacturing. 

The government provides funds and programs that help new Chinese companies emerge. The country is known for a high number of State Owned Enterprises, SOEs. It’s important to note that some of the SOEs in China are fully owned by the government, while others are partially government-owned and partially publicly traded in the stock market. 

There are a number of things to consider when investing in Chinese SOEs. Having a government on your side gives you a lot of privileges. SOEs get more exclusive government projects and the politicians change rules to benefit the state-owned companies. On the other hand, government workers have very little motivation to take good care of state property and the level of corruption is high.

Top Chinese stocks are highly liquid, meaning a lot of volume is traded every day. When it comes to trading certain assets, going to a place where there are lots of buyers and sellers can lower spreads and make investing cheaper. What’s more, high liquidity indicates a lot of people are interested in the stock. Liquidity and volume are what move the markets. Whether you are a long-term investor or a short-term speculative investor, high liquidity can be equally beneficial for your trading.

Purchasing Chinese stocks can help diversify your portfolio. As you may already know, investing can be risky. To decrease the risks, many investors spread out their investments, so that when one sector fails, they don’t lose everything. 

In addition, Chinese stocks have a lot of growth potential. From 1989 to 2022 China's GDP has been increasing by 9.16 percent per year on average. The Chinese infrastructure is modern and unparalleled. The country offers a large pool of highly skilled workers. What’s more, the government is focused on improving trade infrastructure including railroads, ports, and the like. For many years Chinese products were seen as low quality and cheap. In today’s world, the Chinese have become specialized in production and increased the quality gradually to the point where “made in China” is no longer synonymous with poor quality.
