Clearly you have no idea how foreign companies access the domestic Chinese market..............................

Foreigners like you or I, can't even invest into Chinese companies directly (A shares), it's completely closed to foreigners. Yeah you could invest though a dodgy holding company or H shares, but just look what happened to Alibaba shareholders when Alipay was a subsidiary. Jack Ma literally just shifted the ownership of Alipay from Alibaba to his own personal company Ant Financial (supposedly to comply with Chinese law) and the foreign investors (including Yahoo) had no legal recourse.

Maybe you should stop talking b.s. you have no idea what your talking about.

Whether investing via JV , Rep office or WFOE structure are still means of investing/doing business with China and make profits , as long as you play by China Government rule books.

Regarding investing in Chinese companies (A Shares Market) , there are always proper way/ channels for the CAPABLE ones to invest in China companies , and make good incomes and profits.

Investment Approach
We seek capital growth by investing in A-shares of Chinese companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges. We believe the key to investing in the China 'A' universe is to combine top-down macroeconomic analysis with a bottom-up fundamental security analysis. As such, we utilize an integrated investment process that considers dynamics, valuation and sentiment from both top-down macroeconomic and bottom-up stock perspectives. We believe an integrated process offers the most effective approach given the return and risk potential of this asset class. Our experience has found that there are certain nuances to investing in China A Share and a single, rigid approach is not effective over time.
