Chinese Stocks Fall as Markets Await Signals From Xi-Trump Talks

Chinese equities slipped as President Xi Jinping met with his US counterpart Donald Trump, with investors taking some profits after a recent tech-driven rally while waiting for clearer signals from the talks.

The CSI 300 Index dropped as much as 1.7%, underperforming the broader Asia-Pacific region. Technology stocks led the decline, dragging the ChiNext and STAR 50 indexes down as much as 2.5% and 2.6% respectively, after both gauges hit record highs just a day earlier.
