How to buy Chinese shares Exposure via Australian shares Buying into a fund is the most realistic way to gain China exposure for most investors. But for those who want to invest directly, the process is relatively simple. 
Non-Chinese investors can buy into the shares of Chinese companies traded in Hong Kong, the United States and Singapore.
They can also access Chinese domestic shares via a new access mechanism known as the Shanghai- Hong Kong Stock Connect, which allows foreigners to buy Shanghai shares via Hong Kong.
Many Australian brokers will be able to organise this through a broker in Hong Kong.
Closer to home, a number of ASX- listed companies are tapping into China's consumer growth story.

It was one of the most successful businesses on the ASX in 2015. Its share price has fallen in recent weeks but is still far ahead of its ASX debut in   August 2014.
Blackmores (ASX:BKL) has also seen a recent slide in its share price after steep growth through 2015 on the back of China demand.
Traditionally focusing on vitamins, it is launching a new line of baby formula products to keep up with the insatiable demand from Chinese parents.
