Beijing, April 7, 2025: Chinese stock markets witnessed a dramatic downturn, with indices like the Shanghai Composite and Shenzhen Component facing sharp declines, signaling what could be the worst single-day crash since the 2008 financial crisis.

Rising geopolitical tensions and bleak export projections further deepened investor anxiety, making Monday a critical point for China’s financial landscape.
