The timing of this downturn is particularly concerning, as it comes on the heels of a 10-week rout. China's stock market has been struggling to recover from a series of setbacks, including a decline in AI trade and policy hopes. The CSI 300 index, which tracks the performance of China's largest companies, has been in a downward trend for weeks, with the Shanghai Composite Index closing 1.45% lower on October 22.

According to Bloomberg, the index is now expected to enter a bear market, defined as a decline of 20% or more from its peak. The impact of this downturn will be felt by investors, who have been holding onto hopes for a turnaround in the market. The question now is whether the market will continue to decline, and what measures the government will take to stabilize the economy.
