Chinese stocks fell sharply after former President Donald Trump indicated that a 10% tariff on Chinese goods was still under consideration. His comments followed a period of relative calm regarding tariffs on China, contributing to a noticeable decline in the benchmark CSI 300 Index and the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index. Market analysts have noted that continued uncertainty regarding U.S.-China trade relations may impact investor sentiment.
