China is Flying High - Here's How to Invest

You don't need a Chinese brokerage account to buy Chinese stocks 

In fact you don't need a foreign brokerage account to invest in any of the emerging markets. The most popular of these markets are known as the "BRIC" economies. BRIC stands for Brazil, Russia, India & China and they represent the most popular emerging economies for stock investors and funds. In some cases, stocks from these countries are listed in the U.S. as ADRs but this is probably not the most efficient (or safe) way to make an investment.
This is a good topic right now as emerging markets in general and China in particular are on a very fast run to the upside as the global economic outlook improves. China

ETFs are really a great investment product and there are some excellent ETFs that provide access to Chinese and BRIC stocks. Using an ETF for this is an advantage because they are already diversified and an indexed ETF or fund usually carries very low costs.

You can investigate some of these ETFs yourself. The iShares Emerging Markets MSCI ETF (EEM) is one of our favorites and the Vanguard Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) is another that might be worth a look. You can learn a lot more about investing in emerging markets through the links below.
