Mainland stocks fell yesterday, led by banks after two high-profile sales of Chinese bank shares in Hong Kong sparked fears of more such selling.
The Shanghai Composite Index ended down 2.38 percent at 1878.181 points, off a low of 1862.263.
Turnover in Shanghai A shares shrank to a moderate 54.9 billion yuan from Wednesday's 63.7 billion yuan.
