HK shares dive, China plays in worst day in 10 yrs

(Updates to close)

HONG KONG, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Hong Kong stocks collapsed for
a second straight day on Tuesday, as investors fretted over how
well Asian economies will hold up in a U.S. recession, sparking a
sell-off across the region.

China plays, which dominated trade, plunged 12 percent in
their worst one-day percentage loss in 10 years.

The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI ended down 8.7 percent
at 21,757.63, in their biggest one-day loss since Sept. 2001.
