  • Monday ... the national team …. snapped up blue chips as the main bourses broke below key levels
  • The move followed the securities regulator's meeting with analysts from brokerages
  • Intervention by state funds coincided with major Chinese insurers, who reportedly bought A shares
  • government's infrastructure push is reviving inflation and growth prospects
