The Shanghai stock market gained 87.39 percent in the first seven months of this year to become the best-performing market in the Asia Pacific, followed by Indonesia and India.

"China's economy began warming up and investors' enthusiasm reflected their optimism about the recovery, but investors should still be cautious about excessive liquidity, bubbles and corrections," the report said.
