China Meets Foreign Investors’ Demands With Latest Rule Changes

Thursday’s changes relating to offshore investors were focused on QFII, a quota system that, along with trading links via Hong Kong, is the main way for foreigners to participate in China’s capital markets. The government doubled the QFII quota to $300 billion on Jan. 14, the first expansion since July 2013. Authorities will also merge QFII with the so-called RQFII system, used by investors with offshore renminbi accounts.
