China's gross domestic product has contracted for six consecutive quarters. The country's GDP in the second quarter expanded 7.6 percent, which was the smallest growth in three years. Tensions between China and Japan, the second and third largest economies in the world, over disputed islands could pose a major threat for their bilateral trade market, which has grown to over $340 billion in the last decade.

"There's concern the islands incident may escalate and exports may be impacted," Jianghai Securities Co. analyst, Xu Shengjun, said by phone Bloomberg reported. "The economic data don't look good. The stock market won't improve in the near term with these concerns."
