Chinese stocks continue to tumble after global fall

Chinese stocks have fallen again, a day after their worst plunge since 2007 caused market losses around the world, according to BBC.

The global sell-off was driven by fears that China's slowing growth might pull down other economies.

The Shanghai Composite, China's main stock exchange, was down 4% at midday on Tuesday - it had dropped 8.5% on what state media have called China's "Black Monday".

Tokyo's Nikkei index had a volatile day, closing 4% lower.

Other Asian markets opened lower on Tuesday, but recovered in later trade.

The Shanghai index opened 6.4% lower, but recovered slightly to end the morning session of trade down 4.3% at 3,071.06 points.
