The Chinese stock market has plummeted in recent weeks despite a series of market-stabilizing measures by authorities. The Japanese market declined on fears about the state of the Chinese economy, but then much of the loss was erased as mainland stock markets changed course and rose. Among the other Asian markets, South Korea, Singapore, Indonesia and Taiwan are down with modest losses. Meanwhile, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Malaysia are in positive territory.
