Any good China (or China-related) fund?

hi,
I'm looking for a good China (or China-related) fund and plan to invest
for at least one or two years. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

I used to like GCH (Greater China Fund), a closed-end fund. But I would
only purchase it if it's still trading at a deep discount to NAV as it
used to be.

I did a casual screening for CEF's. Criteria, discount to nav, double digit
returns for 1, 3, 5, 10 years. Here's the very short list:

MXF 44.28/42.06/25.68/15.15
MSD 24.38/23.56/20.48/15.01
IRL 13.18/38.00/13.61/12.77
LAQ 43.99/49.77/21.72/11.96
LDF 55.98/57.33/26.28/19.42
BZF 45.94/68.43/28.21/16.77
CEE 62.33/49.97/31.12/16.49
TDF 14.05/33.64/27.64/11.66

Now, the question is, should these funds be avoided or placed on your
shopping list?

Mathews has one or two, but, apparently, they must not be authorized to
market these in Wisconsin, as they have yet to send me a prospectus and
application (maybe closed to new investors?).

I just got into Fidelity China Region (FHKCX),

as I wanted to keep down the number of companies I deal with...good
long-term results, but not much exposure to date in mainland China--mostly
Hong Kong and Taiwan...even a UK bank with a presence in greater China.

China has three major stock markets. Hong Kong (HangSeng), Shenzen, and
Shanghai. Most funds includes ADRs or other stock markets like Singapore and
Korea which isn't really China deal. You should go for real China dealing in
Chinese money(yuan) this you make pfofit off of USD weakness against
Yuan-this will be the trend for the next 100years until US pays all the debt
off. I can think of only two companies trade stocks from all three Chinese
stock market and do that locally using Yuan. One is Mathew China Fund(MCHFX)
and the other is Oberweis China Opportunity(OBCHX). Mathew invest in Major
Chinese companies compare to Oberweis invest in mid to small cap companies.
I have them both and so far enjoying the ride.
