This article is for subscribers only.
China’s stocks fell the most in six weeks as a slowdown in import growth boosted concern the government’s lending and property restrictions are curbing demand in the world’s third-biggest economy.
China Cosco Holdings Co., the largest operator of dry-bulk ships, dropped to a two-week low after the nation’s imports rose the least since November. Poly Real Estate Group Co. led a decline among developers after property prices increased at the slowest pace in six months. SAIC Motor Corp., the largest carmaker, slid to the lowest since July after China’s auto sales grew at the weakest since March 2009.
