Shanghai Composite Ends Morning Session Up 0.27% at 3840.83

The split is the story: large-cap benchmarks held modest gains while the STAR 50's 2.09% drop stands out as the session's real signal, suggesting pressure concentrated in the tech-heavy, hard-science listings rather than the broad market. The ChiNext decline reinforces that tilt, since both boards skew toward growth and innovation names. Whether that divergence persists into the close, or the weakness in STAR names bleeds into the wider indices, is the open question worth tracking.
