SHANGHAI stocks rose to an eight-month high yesterday on a strong showing by media shares because of a government plan to promote new media.

The central government approved on Monday a plan to promote new media, giving a fillip to the sector.

Northern United Publishing & Media gained by the maximum daily limit of 10 percent to 8.98 yuan (US$1.46) as did Shanghai Xinhua Media which ended at 10.02 yuan.
China Petroleum and Chemical Corp, also known as Sinopec, gained after media reported that some heavyweight companies such as China Life Insurance and Tencent are said to bid for a stake in the country’s top oil refiner.
Sinopec gained 2.66 percent to close at 5.41 yuan.
