What is the risk difference between buying some Chinese stocks or buying an ETF with

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Say, I want to buy few main Chinese stocks e.g. BABA, TME. I understand that the risk of buying those stocks is that I am not the shareholder of those companies, rather of some VIE. But say, I buy ETF e.g. iShares China Large Cap UCITS ETF or iShares MSCI China UCITS ETF. Is the risk due to Chinese government's action same with buying ETFs? Or, say I buy iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets IMI UCITS ETF. How is the risk to the Chinese portion of the ETF? If I don't want the risk due to Chinese government's action, should I stay away from the ETFs with Chinese holdings?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/ApeWithCoconut"> /u/ApeWithCoconut </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/ohl2qw/what_is_the_risk_difference_between_buying_some/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/ohl2qw/what_is_the_risk_difference_between_buying_some/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
