What's hot in the world of finance? At least one correct answer must be "China". Over the past several years, the world has seen the economy of this enormous nation grow at a breakneck clip. The local stock markets have followed, showing unparalleled growth in value within the global market. In some Chinese circles, individual investing has become a near obsession; the topic is rumored to dominate discussions at coffee houses and at the dinner table. These investors are demanding more data, and they are demanding it in real time. Google Finance has heard the clamor, and we're pleased to be able to improve our service for the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges by providing pricing data in real time.
Are you interested in intraday movements in the Bank of China? Or perhaps Yunaan Copper, a large Copper mining group listed on the Shenzhen stock exchange? Now you can get the answer, in real time. We hope you enjoy your new real-time Chinese listings.
By the way, we hope our friends at the SEC are watching. We've been waiting since January for the Commission to approve the last sale proposal, enabling us to offer our users real-time data on NYSE and Nasdaq stocks for free on Google. Transparency in the financial markets, led by access to real-time information, is critical for all investors. We hope to be able to deliver this information to you as soon as the SEC gives a thumbs up.

Congratulations team! Katie must be happy!
Well done!
Why I can't get all the quotes from HKG ? HKG:2828 doesn't work for example :(
This is a very good blog, I will come back often. I will put a link on my blog as well.

Real time information is basic if the Stockexchange wants the investors to trust them. Not offering real time quotes looks like linking to last century laws of the market
I'm sure that the SEC doesn't want to allow real time data for free. What I don't understand is why don't they say it out loud? Doesn't the SEC has a time limit to give an answer (positive or negative)?
very interesing, When do you start providing real time stock data on the johannesburg Stock Exchange,Nairobi Stock, Cairo sock,Mauritius,Rwanda, Bourse regionale des valeurs,Nigerian and Casablanca Stocks ?
Excellent. But it would be even better if Hong Kong data is available as well.
I agree with ilde, real time information needs to be standard with current technology.
Seriously, Google please provide HK Data as well. I understand that China is a big market, but HK is a very important market Asia. I don't understand why HK data didn't come online first.
Don't you think it's kind of evil to be providing services to an oppressive, tyrannical regime that executes people who speak against it by supporting them and providing services that make them money hand over fist?
