China Stocks Slump

The Shanghai Composite index closed down 1.3% at 2,669 on Friday, its lowest level since January 2016. The sharp sell-off came in despite news of fresh China-US trade talks, as healthcare companies were hit on the back of an ongoing safety scandal at vaccine maker Changsheng Biotechnology. For the week, the index dropped 4.5%.
