China stocks slip as markets reopen to escalating US tensions

Moves were relatively muted, in what analysts saw as a sign of confidence over China’s efforts to maintain market stability and its ability to recover from the economic impact of the pandemic. The CSI 300 Index of stocks fell 0.5% as of 10:40 a.m. local time. The yuan weakened 0.4% to 7.090 per U.S. dollar while its offshore counterpart strengthened 0.26%.

Also, it’s widely known that for Chinese officials, market stability is very important.” "I don’t expect to see a strong rally in A shares and the market is likely to stay range-bound,” said Ma Cheng, chairman at Shenzhen Juze Investment Management Co., adding that the main opportunities remained in specific sectors rather than the overall market.
