China Stocks Fall as Tech Rout Deepens

2026-07-30 02:09 By Czyrill Jean Coloma 1 min. read

The Shanghai Composite fell 0.62% to close at 3,804.7 on Thursday, while the Shenzhen Component tumbled 2.73% to 13,285.8, its lowest level since December 2025, as investors continued to unwind positions in technology stocks.

The sector came under renewed pressure amid concerns over stretched valuations, driving investors to shift toward consumer, property, and dividend-yielding stocks.

Technology and optical transceiver stocks led the decline, including Cambricon Technologies (-9.11%), SMIC (-6.04%), Zhongji Innolight (-9.15%), Eoptolink Technology (-11.89%), and NAURA Technology (-5.42%).

The weakness persisted despite Zhongji Innolight’s Hong Kong debut after raising HK$53.4 billion ($6.8 billion), its largest IPO in seven years.

Meanwhile, the Politburo meeting saw Beijing reaffirm its commitment to stepping up macro policy support and bolstering capital market resilience for the remainder of the year, but provided limited details on the specific measures that could be introduced.

China Stocks Fall as Trading Resumes After Summit
The Shanghai Composite fell 1.67% to close at a near two-month low of 3,823.6 on Monday, while the Shenzhen Component lost 3.44% to a more than nine-month low of 12,858.8, as investors weighed the lack of breakthroughs at the Trump-Xi summit after returning from the holiday break. Although the two sides agreed to reduce tariffs on roughly $30 billion worth of imports from each country and extend their trade truce through January, the summit failed to deliver significant progress on several key issues, including artificial intelligence cooperation, the Iran conflict, and Taiwan. Sentiment was further pressured by a sharp selloff in technology sector after reports that Chinese authorities may permit purchases of Nvidia's new AI chips, alongside proposed US sanctions targeting foreign optical component manufacturers. Among the biggest decliners were Cambricon Technologies (-6.55%), GigaDevice Semiconductor (-6.58%), Zhongji Innolight (-4.35%), and Eoptolink Technology (-4.53%).
