Hong Kong - Hong Kong shares finished down on Thursday as investors held back from chasing continuous gains on mainland exchanges due to doubts about the state of China's economy.
The Hang Seng index fell 0.5 percent, to 24 004.28, while the China Enterprises Index lost 0.3 percent, to 11 013.87 points.
Among the most actively traded stocks on Hong Kong's main board were CCT Land Holdings, down 17.4 percent to HK$0.02, China Strategic Holdings, up 7.3 percent to HK$0.06 and Bank Of China, down 0.8 percent to HK$3.86.
