The surge extended a rally in which the Shanghai index has risen by more than 60 percent in the past five months.
Analysts said liquidity is the main reason for the bull run, as investors have been withdrawing money from the weak property market and other investment channels.
"Be fearful when others are greedy", a famed philosophy of United States investment guru Warren Buffett, appears to be irrelevant in the Chinese market as retail investors flock to open new accounts amid the rally. The number of such accounts reached 1.6 million in the past week with trading value exceeding 6 trillion Yuan, according to the China Securities Depository and Clearing Co.
Xiao Shijun, a strategist at Guodu Securities Co, wrote in a research note: "The recent market rise has largely been driven by inflows of liquidity as the fundamentals of a slowing economy have not changed. Monetary policy will remain loose to support growth and reduce deflation risks"
Liu Jipeng, an economist at China University of Political Science and Law, said the Chinese stock market appears to have always been policy-driven. A bear market is unlikely to return as long as policymakers come up with the right decisions.
