China Concepts Stock is a set of stock of companies whose assets or earnings have significant activities in mainland China. The People's Republic of China is undergoing major financial transformation, and many leading mainland-based companies have chosen to list themselves overseas to gain access to foreign investor capital. Currently, there are China Concepts Stocks listed on several major stock exchanges around the globe, including the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEx), Singapore Exchange (SGX), New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NASDAQ, NYSE MKT (formerly known as the American Stock Exchange), London Stock Exchange (LSE), Euronext, and the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE).
During the financial crisis of 2007–2010, many publicly traded Chinese companies were tainted by fraud scandals. In Hong Kong, there have been several P chips frauds. Singapore has had to cope with S chips scandals. And the United States Securities and Exchange Commission is currently investigating China stock frauds.
