Yes, Chinese and Hong Kong shares rallied after their mid-day breaks, but it took a whopping four hours for that to happen after China propped up the market earlier on Friday.

The bounce has certainly pulled other Asian markets up with the mainland rally (Shenzhen stocks climbed 2.6 percent) in afternoon trading, but the MSCI Asia Pacific Index was still down 0.2 percent as of 5 p.m. in Hong Kong after dropping as much as 1 percent earlier.
