The Shanghai Composite fell 1.25% to 3,766 while the Shenzhen Component sank 2.83% to 12,119 on Thursday, marking a third straight decline as profit-taking hit technology shares. Sentiment weakened further after reports suggested Chinese financial regulators may introduce cooling measures for the stock market, including easing short-selling curbs. Mainland equities had surged 10% in August on strong fund inflows and record margin financing, stoking concerns of overheating. Artificial intelligence and semiconductor stocks, which powered the rally that lifted the Shanghai index to a decade high, came under added pressure amid renewed worries about weak fundamentals. Major losers included Zhongji Innolight (-13.4%), Eoptolink Technology (-15.6%), Cambricon Technologies (-14.5%), Victory Giant (-8.8%) and Foxconn Industrial (-2.1%).
