**Asian Stocks Mixed as Japan Slips on Weak GDP and China–Japan Tensions Rise**

Asian markets were mixed on Monday following last week’s sharp global sell-off, with sentiment weighed down by weaker economic data from Japan and escalating geopolitical tensions in the region.

Japan’s **Nikkei 225** dipped **0.1% to 50,323.91** after government figures showed the economy **contracted at a 1.8% annualised pace in Q3**, underscoring the fragility of the country’s post-pandemic recovery.

Chinese markets also moved lower. **Hong Kong’s Hang Seng** fell **0.7% to 26,384.28**, while the **Shanghai Composite** slid **0.5% to 3,972.03**, as strained relations between Beijing and Tokyo further dampened investor sentiment. The downturn followed comments from **Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi**, who suggested Japan could respond militarily if China were to move against Taiwan — remarks that drew strong objections from Beijing.

China reiterated its claim over Taiwan and warned its citizens against **travelling to or studying in Japan**, adding to the diplomatic chill.

Elsewhere in the region, **South Korea’s Kospi** bucked the trend, surging **1.9% to 4,089.25** on strong buying in tech stocks. Chipmakers rallied sharply after announcing plans to collaborate with **Nvidia** on artificial intelligence development, with **SK Hynix jumping 8.2%** and **Samsung Electronics rising 3.5%**.

Australia’s **S&P/ASX 200** was little changed at **8,636.40**, while **Taiwan’s Taiex** edged up **0.2%** and **India’s Sensex** gained **0.3%**.
