Buying China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) shares HK00883

Dear All
I am trying to buy China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) shares but the three online platforms I use say they do not trade shares in the company because they are 'restricted'.  I even approached CNOOC directly for advice but just got the unhelpful response 'ask your broker'!  Can anybody please suggest a way around this?

Unusual request, however the  Interactive Investors platform permits trades in the company under the ticker you quoted.

They charge 1.5% forex for trades up to £24,999 and sliding scale  down thereafter, but you can then retain the investment in the domestic hong kong dollar currency, together with the  half yearly dividends thereon.  Appears it can be held both in the  Sipp and general trading account.

Have you tried WeBull? It appears to be available there.

This may or maynot concern the OP ( or any one else), but WeBull is chinese owned.
