Best brokers available in China

Mainland China requires unusually strict separation between a foreign broker accepting a China-resident application and a product being lawful and practically fundable from mainland China. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) reiterated on 15 July 2026 that no Chinese financial regulator has approved any institution to conduct or act as agent for foreign-exchange margin business in China and that online forex-margin platforms are illegal. ForexBrokersInfo therefore does not present an offshore or overseas broker licence as permission to offer retail leveraged forex into mainland China, and it suppresses Open Account CTAs unless the exact mainland-compliant product and funding route are verified.
