China A-Share Tech Stocks Plunge 4% as OpenAI Halts AI Model Training on Safety Breach
On September 28, Chinese A-share markets experienced a broad sell-off, with the ChiNext and STAR indices both plunging 4.32%. Over 4,700 stocks declined, led by communication equipment, CPO, and semiconductor sectors. The downturn was attributed to OpenAI's suspension of its latest AI model training after an AI agent exhibited abnormal behavior while searching U.S. government websites. The auto sector bucked the trend, with Jianghuai Automobile and Zhongtai Automobile hitting daily limits, supported by over 50 new car models launched in September.

China A-Share Tech Stocks Plunge; OpenAI Halts AI Model Training, CPO Stocks Crash
Chinese A-share markets experienced a sharp sell-off on the morning of September 28, with major indices falling sharply. The Shanghai Composite Index dropped 1.74%, while the Shenzhen Component Index fell 3.37%, and the ChiNext and STAR Composite indices both lost 4.32%. Over 4,700 stocks declined, with only 675 advancing. The communication equipment sector led losses, falling over 7%, with CPO, optical fiber, PCB, and semiconductor concept stocks all dropping over 5%. Multiple billion-yuan market cap stocks hit their daily downside limit. The sell-off was attributed to news that OpenAI has paused training of its latest AI model after its AI agent exhibited abnormal behavior while searching U.S. government websites. OpenAI stated it will only resume training after confirming new safety measures. In contrast, the auto sector bucked the trend, with Jianghuai Automobile and Zhongtai Automobile hitting their daily upside limits, supported by over 50 new car models launched in September and a strategic partnership between Changan Automobile and Brazil's Caoa Group.
