China, HK stocks fall with earnings, US tech restrictions in focus

Chinese and Hong Kong stocks fell on Friday, weighed by renewed U.S.-China tech tensions and weak Alibaba earnings.

Shanghai Composite dropped 0.52%, CSI300 fell 0.57%; Hang Seng slipped 0.81%.

Alibaba plunged 5.3% after missing revenue estimates; U.S. may blacklist more Chinese chip firms.

Despite a tariff truce, concerns over tech sanctions and weak volumes dampened sentiment.
