HONG KONG, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares tumbled 4.7 percent on Tuesday, with Chinese financial and property stocks leading the slide, on fears of a deepening global recession.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI unofficially closed the session down more than 600 points at about 13,400.
The index was dragged down by a more than 6 percent slide in shares of global lender HSBC (0005.HK: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz).
The China Enterprise index of Hong Kong-listed Chinese companies .HSCE closed down 5.3 percent at 7,002.48. (Reporting by Nerilyn Tenorio; Editing by Anne Marie Roantree)
