China is beginning to bounce back.

I have completed many loans for customers working for Microsoft in China and D.O.D. in Japan and I've never had that issue.  

Japan and China are no longer interested in propping the US up via bond purchases.

v=HptRcmUGRAk Considering that FED is not ready to raise rates and central banks around the world are reducing rates and/or pumping money into the system including China and India.

Also if you compare the cap rates to those you'll get in neighboring China (Hong Kong/Shanghai) and Singapore, you're looking at rental returns of 2-3x with less problems in Japan.

I tried out Betterment and Wealthfront a while back and didn't like the lack of control...I don't want to be in emerging markets with the situation in China what it is, but I felt "forced" into it using those services...I'd prefer to buy my own commission-free ETFs and rebalance my portfolio periodically...but that's just me, I'm a bit more hands-on and have the time most days to constantly monitor my portfolio...that's also why I just contribute to 401K just enough to maximize the employer match...though I have always maxed out my Roth contribution...But just out of curiosity, which do you like better, Betterment or Wealthfront?  

@Frank Chin, a great place to start is NARPM.org.

China will be able to keep annual economic growth at around 6-7 percent over the next three to five years, a top People's Bank of China (PBOC) policymaker said on Saturday, a day after the bank cut interest rates for the sixth time in less than a year.The comments from Yi Gang, vice governor of the People's Bank of China, appeared to be aimed at reassuring investors this level of growth, China's slowest pace in two decades but still faster than other major economies, is the Chinese economy's "new normal"."

Our Teak investments are for export to India/China, thus not dependent on the local economy. 

For my opinion, try to get a right person who has good connection in China side.
