HONG KONG, Aug 16 — Asian stocks were mostly down today as weak Chinese economic data, fears of a resurgent coronavirus and the Taliban’s victory in Afghanistan gnawed at investor sentiment.

“Concern remains strong over the economic impact of record coronavirus cases in Japan,” said Yoshihiro Okumura of Chibagin Asset Management.
