In my experience you can apply the same trading principles and philosophies, but copy-paste without any modification rarely work between any asset classes.

As a private person you cannot open a local brokerage account in China unless you at least have a residence permit, which requires you to have a local employer there. And for a professional account you need a company and valid asset management license. So the road is quite far to travel if you...
