Stock plummets

Shares in China Mobile, the world's largest telecom operator, fell nearly 6 percent to a 13-month low yesterday, with investors worried Beijing will impose regulations that are unfavorable to the firm but benefit its rivals. China Mobile sank to HK$76.50, its lowest since August 2007, before bouncing back a bit to HK$76.75, down 5.6 percent, in mid-afternoon trade.
