SINGAPORE — Shares in Asia-Pacific were mostly higher in Monday trade as stocks in Hong Kong led gains regionally. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index rose 2.09% in morning trade. Shares of Meituan in Hong Kong surged 7.97%. China's market regulator on Friday said it had fined the company about 3.4 billion Chinese yuan ($527.71 million) after finding it guilty of monopolistic practices. Still, that was far smaller than the 18.23 billion yuan ($2.8 billion) fine that Alibaba had been slapped with back in April.
