The key Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.71 percent, or 15.68 points, to 2,211.53 points. Turnover stood at 28.3 billion yuan (US$4.5 billion) in the morning session.
"The People's Bank of China will maintain a prudent monetary stance and make small adjustments timely," the central bank's governor Zhou Xiaochuan said at a financial forum in Shanghai today.
