Most Asian stocks fell on Friday as chipmaking stocks faced pressure amid doubts over U.S. sales to China. Focus remained on the ongoing Trump-Xi summit in Beijing.

Chinese markets steadied near multi-year highs. South Korean stocks were the worst performers, falling after a U.S. trade official said chip export controls were not discussed in detail.

Japan's Nikkei slid 1.6% on hot inflation data, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 1%. Australia's ASX 200 was flat, and India's Nifty 50 added 0.4%.
