Xinhua means New China, as in post-1949, and is the name of the official Chinese wire service, and major bookstore, and many other things in China. "Hau" is actually not in the syllable inventory of modern standard Mandarin.<BR/><BR/>Also, FXI/FXI track and index based on HK traded H and Red Chip shares and so are not directly related to the A and B shares that trade in Shanghai (and Shenzhen, and which cannot be shorted). Since H share and Red Chip share companies are mainland companies, and there are many companies with multiple listings (including ADRs), FXI/FXP is related to the Shanghai market, but only indirectly. The only thing that I know on the US markets that has "direct" exposure to Shanghai A shares is CAF, a MS closed end fund.semurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10793841471627667231noreply@blogger.com
