SHANGHAI -- China's benchmark Shanghai Composite Index has hit a new year-to-date low despite Beijing's efforts to prop up the stock market as investors worry more about the troubled property sector.
The index fell 1.74% to 3,005 on Thursday, the lowest close in 11 months and near the 3,000 threshold last breached on Nov. 3.
