HONG KONG -- China's main stock market index closed at a 13-year high on Tuesday, helped by an economic resurgence after the nation managed to control the coronavirus pandemic and by market reforms that attracted foreign capital.

The CSI 300 index, which tracks the largest shares listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen, climbed 1.9% to 5,368.50, its highest close since Jan. 18, 2008.
