#AsiaPacific#Australia#Japan #China#world#stocks

Chinese stocks fell Tuesday on worries over policy tightening continued to weigh on the market.

The blue-chip CSI300 index fell 1%, to 5,009.25, while the Shanghai Composite Index declined 0.9% to 3,411.51.

Japanese shares capped early gains to end lower Tuesday, the Nikkei share average fell 0.61% to close at 28,995.92, while the broader TOPIX declined 0.94% to 1,971.48.

 Australian shares closed lower Tuesday as western sanctions against China dampened risk appetite, with energy and technology stocks leading the retreat.

The S&P/ASX 200 index settled 0.1% lower to 6,745.4, New Zealand’s benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index closed 0.5% higher at 12,394.34.
