China stocks plunge anew on economic gloom

SHANGHAI: China’s stock market resumed its volatile plunges on Monday, as worries over the slowing economy and the government’s ability to manage it sent traders fleeing, dealers said.

Investors have been alarmed by slowing growth in the world’s second-largest economy, which is expected to have expanded last year at its slowest pace in a quarter of a century. Official data on fourth-quarter and annual growth is due to be released next week.
