SHANGHAI: Chinese shares rebounded on Wednesday, led by gains in artificial intelligence stocks, but the benchmark CSI300 still hovered around four-month lows on concerns over subdued domestic economic data.

China’s CSI AI Index jumped 3.7%, as domestic AI companies moved swiftly to attract users of OpenAI’s technology.

The blue-chip CSI300 index hit a four-month low on Tuesday.

US firm plans to restrict access in China and other countries to its application programming interface (API), a platform that allows developers of other products to integrate its AI models.
