Shanghai - Chinese shares were down 0.81% in early trading on Wednesday due to worries over a share glut that could be triggered by the resumption of new stock offers, dealers said.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index fell 17.52 points to 2 141.77.
China's stock regulator might resume approvals for initial public offerings as early as July after a nearly eight-month suspension, state media reported Wednesday, citing an unnamed industry source.
