Dec 17 (Reuters) – China shares fell for a sixth straight

day on Tuesday, as investors remained concerned about tight

liquidity, given a traditional cash drain near the end of a year

and the planned resumption of new share offerings next month.

The CSI300 of the leading Shanghai and Shenzhen

A-share listings fell 0.5 percent, while the Shanghai Composite

Index was down 0.5 percent at 2,151.07 points. Both sank

to their lowest close since Nov. 15.

The China Banking Regulatory Commission, setting the

regulatory tone for the year ahead, on Tuesday called on banks

to properly manage their liquidity conditions and head off

shadow banking risks in 2014.
