Shares in mainland China crumbled on Friday after Chinese trade data missed expectations by a wide margin.

The significant losses in Chinese stocks came as overall sentiment in Asia was downbeat for the day. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan dropped 1.5 percent, as of 3:14 p.m. HK/SIN. China's February trade balance was also significantly weaker than expected at $4.12 billion.
