Chinese stocks suffered the biggest drop this year, nose-diving more than 5 percent, amid growing fears over the fallout from a slump in US economy.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index plummeted 5.14 percent to 4,914 points, after hitting as low as 4,891.29. The Shenzhen Composite Index lost 4.62 percent to 1,448.17. The CSI 300 index of major companies in the two bourses declined 4.96 percent to 5,145.84.

Ninety percent of the yuan-denominated A-shares in Shanghai and Shenzhen posted losses, with financial shares the biggest losers.

Ping An Insurance of China suffered a 10 percent daily limit down to 88.39 yuan, while its rival China Life plummeted 8.76 percent to 48.22 yuan.

China Merchants Bank, the country's biggest credit card issuer, fell 6.70 percent to 37.04 yuan, while the biggest lender, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China dropped 3.82 percent, the smallest drop in percentage for banks on Monday.

The sell-off came as investors are increasingly worried about the impact of a US recession on the Chinese economy.

Fears are mounting in the United States that the sub-prime crisis might pull the country's economy into a recession, prompting President George W. Bush to call for up to $150 billion in tax relief for consumers and business to boost the economy.

China's exports will be badly hit if consumer demand weakens in the US – a major destination for Chinese exports, Zhang Tao, deputy head of the international department of the People's Bank of China, told a financial forum during the weekend.

A drop of 1 percentage point in US economic growth would shave 1.3 percentage points from China's growth rate due to lower exports, Citigroup estimates.
