China's vice president Xi Jinping believes in the economic future of the United States, after meeting with vice-president Joe Biden. Other attendees at the meeting included executives of General Motors Co., Coca Cola Co., Caterpillar Inc., Bank of China Ltd., and Lenovo Group. But the big question is, do US investors have confidence in China?
Many investors willing to take a chance on investing in China stocks are picking ones that pay dividends, which can help to reduce risk by returning capital faster and may reduce volatility. There are plenty of bargains out there as China stocks have dropped significantly over the last few weeks. The iShares FTSE China 25 Index Fund (FXI) has dropped over 32% since August 1.
WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has just updated its list of over a dozen China stocks that pay dividends with yields running as high as 6%.
