China stocks close higher on tech-fueled rebound

SHANGHAI - Chinese stocks added to early gains on Monday to end higher as investors looked for opportunities on the back of last Friday's losses.

The blue-chip CSI300 Index edged higher by 1.3 percent to 3,694.68, while the Shanghai Composite Index increased by 0.9 percent to 3,237.36 points.

Gains were led by high-tech, consumer and healthcare firms that had been hit by losses at the end of last week.
