GreenTree Hospitality
This very off-theadar Chinese stock is risky, but it offers aggressive income investors a very interesting play, especially if tensions with China cool off. Greentree Hospitality Group Ltd. (NYSE: GHG) develops leased-and-operated and franchised-and-managed hotels under the GreenTree brand in the People’s Republic of China.
As of December 31, 2021, it operated 66 leased-and-operated hotels with 7,064 rooms.
