**Mainland China prohibits retail OTC FX / CFD trading**. Chinese residents using offshore brokers operate in a legal grey zone.
**Reality:**
• No domestic licensed FX/CFD broker
• Many international brokers solicit via local IBs
• Capital flow restricted to USD 50,000/year per person (SAFE)
• Disputes nearly impossible to resolve through Chinese regulators
If trading, pick brokers with FCA / ASIC / CySEC licenses and ensure your account entity is the regulated one (not offshore SVG/VFSC).
