Try to avoid ADR. Your money is in the hands of crazy US presidents and the ADR is NOT FREE OF CHARGE. Every year you have to pay the company who provided the ADR. If there is dividend they cut money off your dividend.

If you bought the ADR of companies like China Mobile or China Unicom you cannot BUY or SELL your ADRs anymore, Mr. Trump said Nono, GAME OVER! Can easily happen to Alibaba also!

Best choice is always Hong Kong stock exchange. BUT the problem is to find a good broker for HKSE. Some years before there was nothing useful in Malaysia, now maybe things have changed.

If you have a european broker you can easily and cheap trade the original Hong Kong shares of big stocks like Alibaba, Tencent and so on in Europe. That is probably what most people do including myself. If someone knows a suitable broker for HKSE in Malaysia, please share!

By the way, I am sure that HKSE is the most relevant stock exchange in the next 20 years.
