China's CSI 300 index has fallen 20% from its June peak after a 10-week selloff, entering bear-market territory. On Thursday the Shanghai Composite fell 2.07% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng 3.91%, even as CNBC reported sovereign wealth funds' investments in China and Hong Kong have risen 190% after an earlier slump.
Why it matters
Falling Chinese equities affect household wealth in the world's second-largest economy and global investors with exposure to it.
