China stocks rally on central bank measures to boost market



Chinese stocks climbed on Friday after the central bank kicked off two funding schemes and urged swift adoption of financial policies to support capital markets, while mixed economic data kept up pressure on policymakers for more stimulus.

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) launched two schemes to initially pump as much as 800 billion yuan ($112 billion) into the stock market through newly-created monetary policy tools, boosting investor sentiment.
