The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index added 0.33 percent, or 9.45 points, to reach 2,875.96, while the Shenzhen Composite Index — which tracks stocks on China’s second exchange — edged up 0.52 percent, or 8.93 points, to 1,736.1.
But Hong Kong’s benchmark Hang Seng Index fell 0.33 percent, or 89.43 points, to 27,404.27.
