Hong Kong: Stocks fall for 4th session, China worries mount
[HONG KONG] Hong Kong shares finished lower on Wednesday for the fourth straight day, as investor confidence was subdued by a steady stream of gloomy news about China's economy.
The Hang Seng index fell 1.3 per cent, to 23,167.85, while the China Enterprises Index lost 1.2 per cent, to 10,642.24 points.
