Abstract This paper explores the integration/segmentation between the US and Chinese stock markets. Our analysis extends the work of Jorion and Schwartz (1986) to a Fama-French framework using both Chinese and US Fama-French factors. Despite the ongoing liberalisation process in China our results support the segmentation hypothesis.
