I am concerned China is another central bank and real estate bubble, and their growth stats are all fictions.

If I recall correctly EDOG (the S-Network EM Dividend Dogs ETF) is actually around 8 or 9% China; it has only existed for a few years but the underlying index goes back to 2004 and has roughly equaled DFEVX or DEMSX with much less than the maxDD of either of those funds or even EEM.

I take it XCEM is too thinly traded and is a concern for being at ~11M in assets on on the ETF deathwatch list?
