Chinese mainland stocks climbed on Wednesday, supported by strong gains in artificial intelligence and semiconductor shares, while Hong Kong equities declined as investors booked profits in technology heavyweights, according to Reuters.
The blue-chip CSI300 Index rose 0.7% by the midday break, while the Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.5%. In contrast, Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng Index fell 0.8%, weighed down by weakness in major technology stocks.
