I used to own GXC, which tracks a broader index and has 300+ holdings.

Yes, GXC for S+P Citigroup BMI China Index (ex A and B shares). But this etf and e.g. the Xinhau China 25 FXC i-share still have significant overlap in key holdings despite the larger range in GXC (note: NYSE:FXI [$], and LON:FXC [£]). GXC has more holdings listed in US-Hong Kong-Japan.

For those interested, comparison and discussion in the link below with differentiation of A/B/HK H shares /HK red chips and US-Singapore-Japan listed holdings (held in GXC).

Update: also there is a good overview on the range of more diversified China etfs in this link here:
