trade tensions between China and the United States.
The Hang Seng Index shed 1.16 percent, or 299.94 points, to 25,501.55 in
the opening minutes.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index meanwhile edged down 0.04 percent,
or 1.00 points, to 2,605.91.

exchange, added 0.26 percent, or 3.35 points, to 1,299.71.
