Asian markets ended mixed on Tuesday amid lingering concerns over the spread of the Delta virus variant and China's regulatory crackdown over technology companies in dramatic ways. South Korea is struggling to contain a fourth Covid-19 wave, with new cases staying in the 1,200s for the second day in a row. In China, the spread of the Delta variant from the mainland's coast to inland cities prompted authorities to implement strict measures. Japanese shares fell after Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga flagged growing COVID-19 infections among Japanese in their 20s and 30s.
