> Chinese stocks extended their decline on Friday, taking the CSI 300 further into bear-market territory as hopes for new stimulus faded and a global retreat from AI-related trades unsettled investors. At 10:15 a.m. local time, the index was down 1.7% at 3,964.48, on course for its lowest close since July 2025. It technically entered a bear market the previous day after falling 20% from its June peak.
