China's stock market sinks into bear territory as CSI 300 extends 10-week rout
China's benchmark CSI 300 index has entered bear-market territory, tumbling twenty percent from its June peak to extend a ten-week rout. The sharp downturn comes amid a prolonged selloff in mainland equities, driven by fading optimism over artificial intelligence valuations, corporate earnings, and disappointing policy hopes. State buying has failed to sustain a recovery or halt the deep losses, as sellers aggressively return to technology shares. Meanwhile, the Shanghai Composite Index also closed lower, falling one point four five percent in the broader Asian market selloff.

China's CSI 300 Index Sinks Into Bear Market
China's benchmark CSI 300 index has entered bear-market territory, tumbling twenty percent from its June peak to extend a ten-week rout. The sharp downturn comes amid a prolonged selloff in mainland equities, driven by fading optimism over artificial intelligence valuations, corporate earnings, and disappointing policy hopes. State buying has failed to sustain a recovery or halt the deep losses, as sellers aggressively return to technology shares. Meanwhile, the Shanghai Composite Index also closed lower, falling one point four five percent in the broader Asian market selloff.
Why it matters
The descent into bear territory highlights mounting fragility in mainland Chinese equities after earlier rallies fizzled out. Bloomberg Intelligence reports that state intervention and government-backed share purchases alone may not be sufficient to sustain a market recovery without stronger fundamental catalysts. The slump underscores broader investor anxiety regarding the sustainability of high tech and artificial intelligence valuations.
What is confirmed
- China's benchmark CSI 300 index entered bear-market territory by falling twenty percent from its June peak.
