China's stocks fall before Communist Party policy meeting
China's shares decreased on Wednesday heading to the weakest level in one week mainly due to drops of financial stocks, drugmakers and consumer discretionary companies, before this week's Communist Party meeting blueprinting reforms in order to avoid slow economic growth. The Shanghai Composite Index slipped 0.8% to 2,139.61, the least since October 29.
