Well now there's a conundrum. Do you want China to have your data or the Maga party?
Even if I was interested in EM at this time I'm fairly certain that I would not hold a position large enough to affect my bottom line. I don't have any inclination to hold segments of this or that for the purpose of feeling diversified.
