<prompt> Human: Hey everyone,Im graduating with a bachelor degree next month and unlike most people here, I dont have any student debts, so Id like to invest for the first time. I already have a safety fund for general purposes, and another one for car repairs.I want to invest in some Chinese companies I believe in. I would also diversify with US and EU companies, but I see more possibility of growth in China.Im going to study more about how to invest once I graduate I know believing in a company is not the only factor to choose which one I should invest on, but for the moment I dont know much more honestly and definitely need to learn before doing anything.For the moment Id like to know pros and cons of investing in Chinese companies, and if its any harder to buy stocks from those companies or not. Some of the companies Im looking at are very bonded to the Chinese Government, I think its more of a positive thing than a problem, but Id like to hear from someone with experience. Im based in Italy, if it matters. Thanks.  <response>: One major con is that you often cant trust the financial numbers they report or that they are even doing what they claim to be doing. Google chinese shell companies as part of your education.
