In the latest KraneShares China Market Update email, the China focused ETF manager said now is an attractive time to take a position in their KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NASDAQ: KWEB) as Chinese internet companies like Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE: BABA) and Baidu Inc (NASDAQ: BIDU) continued to deliver impressive year over year (YoY) earnings results in Q4 2014.
