Stock market indexes in China and Hong Kong struggled to stay above the flatline as investors debated the outcome of the latest policy meeting.
The Hang Seng index declined 0.2%, and the CSI 300 index dropped 0.3% as the two-day economic work conference got underway in Beijing.
Investors are looking forward to possible announcements of additional fiscal stimulus at the end of the meeting chaired by President Xi Jinping that could set the tone for the economic growth target for the next year.
China investors have turned cautious following a series of high-profile announcements of fiscal stimulus from political leaders that have not been followed by concrete measures to revive consumer confidence and arrest the debt-deflation spiral.
Over the last two months, political leaders and legislative committees have promised several vague and lofty measures to support China's property market and rekindle consumer confidence, but little in the way of plans to achieve those goals.
