Update on High Yield China Stocks

China is planning interest rate hikes later this week, causing many Chinese stocks to drop in price. The country is making this move in order to keep inflation under control. Now that the news is out, it may be a buying opportunity. Investors who are willing to take the risk of investing in China stocks are choosing ones that pay dividends, in order to reduce risk by returning capital faster and possibly reducing volatility.

WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has just updated its list of over a dozen China stocks that pay dividends with yields ranging from one percent to as much as 7.5%.
