In the wee hours one day recently in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, Li Guang, 33, shut down his PC finally and prepared to go to bed. But his mind continued to churn data on the trade he had just executed. He added shares of Weibo, a Nasdaq-listed Chinese social network company, to his investment portfolio, a task that required Li to stay awake to play the US market operating in a different time zone.
Li is getting used to life as a night owl, a first step toward becoming a successful part-time retail investor based in China with focus on US stocks. But altering the body s natural biorhythms may be the easy part of the deal－Li has to contend with gaps in knowledge and language.
A little recognized and probably unappreciated fact about China s remarkable reform and opening-up policy of the last 40-odd years, piloted ably by the Communist Party of China (CPC), is there is more to it than attracting foreign investments and technologies to stoke development in China, investors, economists and researchers said.
Reform and opening-up, including that in the financial services industry, are also about China growing in a spirit of win-win, to benefit the rest of the world as much as itself.
Perhaps no recent policy move illustrates this point more tellingly than the one that helped introduce pilots of the Qualified Domestic Limited Partner, or QDLP, program, market mavens said.
