China's AI and Semiconductor Stocks Lose $480 Billion Amid Market Selloff
China's AI and semiconductor stocks have plunged, wiping out about $480 billion in market value as the STAR50 index fell 40% in under four months. The selloff reflects concerns over high valuations, AI demand, export restrictions, and potential price wars, stalling a two-year rally and Beijing's efforts to foster a stable 'slow bull' market. The downturn has hit retail investors and chipmakers hard, while US export curbs and weak domestic demand add pressure amid ongoing global tech market volatility.
