GettyDear emerging markets fund manager: If you think the trade war is ending this year, I want my money back. What makes it worse is the fact that Washington is throwing everything plus the kitchen sink at Beijing. There is also some chatter among contrarian investors that Washington could pressure MSCI for its inclusion of the A-shares in its emerging markets index. It reached that height on speculation that MSCI would include the A-shares in its mighty emerging markets index. Over that same period, the MSCI China, which includes a lot of China banks and Hong Kong-listed shares, is up 54%, beating the S&P 500's 50% gain.
