Chinese stocks kept plunging deep today while awaiting for legislative approvals on a series of measures that may result in capital diverting to other investment channels from the stock market.

Total turnover of stocks enclosed by the two major indices was 163.5 billion yuan, the lowest since May 29.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index opened nearly 90 points lower from 3,824.29 and closed at 3,820.70, down 93.5 points or 2.39 percent. It went through the day mostly below yesterday's closing line, except hitting the highest point at 3,919.35 once in the afternoon. It almost lost another 100-point grade at 3,800 when it hit the lowest 3,779.81 in the morning, but bounced back afterwards.
