Since there are currently no single ETFs that provide something like a total Chinese market play, the fastidious investor could include an ETF like GXC, which tracks everything but Chinese A-shares, with ASHR for broader exposure to the Chinese market.
KraneShares also says it is close to launching its own Chinese A-shares ETF, the KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A ETF (KBA). [KraneShares Eyes Its Own China A-Shares Play]
