BEIJING, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- Chinese shares rebounded on Wednesday on the heels of new policies issued by the country's security regulator on Tuesday.

Combined turnover on the two bourses stood at 172.2 billion yuan (27.65 billion U.S. dollars).
Investor confidence got a boost on Tuesday, when the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued policies to prepare for housing funds to enter the capital market and to lower the threshold on security companies' asset securitization.
