SHANGHAI/HONG KONG -- Hong Kong stocks fell while those in mainland China were mixed on Friday after the ruling Communist Party laid out plans to double down on its pursuit of technology self-sufficiency at a closely watched policy meeting.
The party's Central Committee, headed by President Xi Jinping, issued a communique on Thursday after a four-day gathering known as the third plenum. It identified "high-quality development" as a key priority, and said reform tasks will be completed "by the time the People's Republic of China celebrates its 80th anniversary in 2029."
