BEIJING (AP) - China's loss appears to be other Asian stock markets' gain.
While Chinese stocks plunged 8.3 percent Monday for their biggest one-day fall since a February drop that triggered a global selloff, markets in Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, South Korea and the Philippines rose to record highs. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index edged up 0.08 percent, while Hong Kong's benchmark index rose 0.6 percent.
Even U.S. and European shares largely shrugged off the decline Chinese shares, a far different outcome than in February, when an almost 9 percent decline in the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index set off alarm bells across global bourses.
