There are currently 149 China-based companies that are publicly traded in the U.S. (excluding pink sheets). Of which, 64 are traded on national stock exchanges (NASDAQ -- most; NYSE, AMEX -- least), a very small percentage of the more than 10,000 public companies in the U.S. Many of these Chinese companies have gone through full SEC reviews with U.S. GAAP audited financials. Those companies that become listed via reverse mergers eventually are reviewed by the SEC when they register shares sold via subsequent financing. These companies offer global investors an opportunity to participate in China's entrepreneurial spirit and economic prosperity while having their public filings current with the SEC and readily available.
