India has become an "action zone" for China's big-time investors like e-commerce giant Alibaba as its market attracted second highest Chinese funding in IT products next to the US, state media reported today.

For the first time in 25 years, China's economy grew at its slowest pace at 6.9 percent in 2015, sparking global concerns over the health of the world's second largest economy and its impact on investors as the Communist giant embarked on painful economic reforms.

Looking to draw a line under wild gyrations in Chinese equity markets, which have fallen 40 percent since mid-June, China`s securities regulator said it would take more steps to ensure stable markets, while government officials said the worst of the volatility was over.

The number of small investors holding stocks in their accounts slid to 51 million at the end of July from 75 million in June, China Securities Depository & Clearing Corp, the agency that tracks accounts said.

Asian shares rose on Tuesday after Chinese stocks broke a punishing three-day losing streak, but gains were capped by fears they could go into freefall again and as investors nervously awaited further developments in the deepening euro zone crisis.

The report could add to tensions between Washington and Beijing as they negotiate a bilateral investment treaty. 

Mainland listed shares in China`s big five banks jumped on Monday but later pared gains, after the country issued draft regulations to introduce a bank deposit insurance scheme for the first time.

Some of the world`s biggest banks and asset managers have asked the Hong Kong securities regulator to delay a landmark China stock trading link that could generate billions of dollars of trade a day due to uncertainty over the scheme rules, according to a letter seen by Reuters.
