As an American who lives abroad about half the year, I looked at this as well. RMB ETN is interesting but a better bet may be the Pan Asian Bond Fund listed in HK. Most non pegged asian currencies are watching the RMB per competitiveness (Singapore, Thai, Korea, Malaysia etc) and so they tend to all move together. This is a fund with gov debt from a basket of countries.. So you make the interest on the debt + currency appreciation and multi country and bond positions give you some hedging. Problem is US citizens cant buy it for various regulation reasons, but if you have friends or relatives abroad or are just a green card holder should be fine. Also, general stock and exchange ETFs like Chinas H Share FXI give you currency appreciation built in too. Of course this is like an equity investment which can (and does with high volatility ;-) go up and down. .. enjoy the CN reviews gang.. finally totally agree with you that Twitter is like adult chat rooms or IM for American adults who have no clue what ICQ/QQ/MSN/YM are!!
