At closing bell, the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.53%, or 17.95 points, to 3,342.20. The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, dropped 1.94%, or 44.89 points, to 2,263.96. The blue-chip CSI300 index fell 0.99%, or 48.98 points, to 4,904.90.

Most industry sectors lost, while IT service providers and the aerospace industry suffered the biggest losses of the day, plummeting 2.6% and 2.8%, respectively. Bucking the trend, the liquor and coal mining industries posted gains.
