Question on EM correlations during global sell-offs

Hey everyone, still trying to get my head around the nuances of EM. I've been watching how some EM equities, particularly in APAC, seem to decouple or at least show less volatility during broader global risk-off events, compared to others in LATAM or EMEA. Is this really a thing, or am I just looking at short-term noise? I'm trying to figure out if there are specific factors that make certain EM regions more resilient to global sell-offs, and if so, how do you guys identify them before they become obvious?
