6 Best Books on Investing in China

One of the biggest things attracting investors to China is massive population and economical growth. Investors must be careful when investing in chinese companies overseas because China lacks many of the regulatory departments similar to the SEC that prevents collusion and corruption in the United States. You need a blueprint before you make your fortune out east.

Luckily, there’s a wealth of investment information in books written by well known Chinese investment strategists. Here’s a list of my top 6 recommended books for investors seeking financial opportunities in mainland China.

1. A Bull in China: Investing Profitably in the World’s Greatest Market

You’ll learn which industries offer the newest and best opportunities, from power, energy, and agriculture to tourism, water, and infrastructure.

Rogers demystifies the state policies that are driving earnings and innovation, takes the intimidation factor out of the A-shares, B-shares, and ADRs of Chinese offerings, and profiles “Red Chip” companies, such as Yantai Changyu, China’s largest winemaker, which sells a “Healthy Liquor” line mixed with herbal medicines.

Plus, if you want to export something to China yourself–or even buy land there–Rogers tells you the steps you need to take. My only takeaway is the book was written in 2008 and is a bit outdated. It’s still a great read to get educated on the basics of investment opportunities in China.

2. China’s Economic Supertrends: How China is Changing from the Inside Out to Become the World’s Next Economic Superpower

This book covers not only China, but Russia, Brazil and India as well. I think it’s a good read but doesn’t focus 100% on Chinese investing.
