No. If you follow specific country ETFs, you will notice that they do not always track the index in that country. CHL (China Mobile ADR) will rise (or fall) depending on what US investors think. They may be influenced by what happened on the Hang Seng. But there is no "automatic" correlation. Also, the Hang Seng rise would be in Hong Kong dollars. They do not equal US dollars.
