China tech faces worry beyond Trump tariffs after $350 billion wipeout

The Hang Seng Tech Index has shed more than $350 billion in market value since a March high, though it has gained about 9 per cent over the past three sessions. While China’s rapid AI development remains a key positive, heightened geopolitical tensions are at the forefront at the moment.
