Anyone familiar with Chinese H-Shares?

Chinese open to buy H-sharesIt seems like the previously traded A- and B- shares are analogous to A and B class stock traded in the States, with H-Shares bearing similarity to ADRs.Can anyone add any color to this or correct any part of this that's incorrect?

H shares are the stock of mainland China stocks quoted in HK. It was done so to let access to Chinese stocks to foreign investors (who can not trade directly in China). Could be seen as ARDs.Anyway the measure has already been called (or suspended)...
