About the Shanghai Stock Exchange
The Shanghai Stock Exchange is mainland China's largest stock exchange, alongside the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Trading splits into a morning and afternoon session with a midday break, the same basic structure as Tokyo and Hong Kong.
Direct access has historically been more restricted than Hong Kong's market, though cross-border programs like Stock Connect have opened up trading access for qualified international investors over the past decade.
