Heads up — after the recent regulatory crackdown, several US/HK brokers have frozen new deposits for accounts registered with mainland China IDs. They won't let you top up until you update your info to show overseas long-term residency status.

If you're still using a mainland ID for your brokerage account, might wanna check if you can still fund it. Some friends got caught off guard — money ready to deploy, but can't get it in. Pretty annoying.

Not saying everyone needs to rush and change docs, but at least know what's going on. If you're planning any bigger moves soon, better sort this out early. 🤷
