Hey there, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Unfortunately, the reason why you can’t find China as an option is that **TradeZero is no longer available in China**. This was an error on our side, which has been resolved by now. I personally recommend the following brokers that are available in China and great alternatives of TradeZero: - IBKR - Saxo - TradeStation Alternatively, you can check the **best online brokers available in China** here: [https://brokerchooser.com/best-brokers/best-online-brokers](https://brokerchooser.com/best-brokers/best-online-brokers) Please let me know if you have any further questions. Kind regards, Andris ---

Thank you very much for your reply. I’m looking for a good broker which has easy locates for HTB stocks.I opened an IBKR account recently,but I find it can’t provide short locate when needed,because I enjoy seeking opportunities in stocks with small cap and high volatility. I’ve found several brokers like Cobra, Centerpoint and Tradezero.Cobra needs a minimum of $30K to open an account.Centerpoint needs a minimum of $50K to open an account.And Tradezero is not accepting accounts from China as of now. My budget is to deposit $2500 to open an account and I can’t find a suitable broker for shortselling. I’d really appreciate your advice on brokers that are good for locating hard to borrow stocks. Thank you very much! ---
