China stocks rose to a fresh 10-month high on Monday, led by blue-chips, but gains were limited as some investors remained sceptical that the uptrend could extend further, Reuters reported. The blue-chip CSI300 index rose 0.7 percent, to 3,441.11, while the Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.8 percent to 3,218.15. The strength in the main indexes, both of which hit their highest levels since early January, contrasts with the lacklustre performance recently in China's growth board ChiNext , which was roughly flat. Most sectors advanced, led by infrastructure and financials, while defensive consumer stocks lost ground.
