Chinese tech shares extended their declines Tuesday, pressured by rising Treasury yields and signs of Beijing’s continued tight scrutiny of the sector.

The Hang Seng Tech Index fell 1.4% to close at the lowest in two weeks, after dropping as much as 2%. Among the worst performers were Kingdee International Software Group Co. and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., which dropped to a fresh record low.
