SHANGHAI, May 26 (Reuters) - Chinese shares rose on Tuesday, lifted by hopes for policy support to revive an economy emerging from lockdowns to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.

China will strengthen its economic policy and continue efforts to lower interest rates on loans, central bank Governor Yi Gang said, reinforcing expectations of further support measures to revive an economy ravaged by the pandemic.
Analysts at Huarong Securities said in a note that, despite relatively high global uncertainty, they expect government policy to support livelihoods and guide rates lower, boosting the market and economy in the medium-to-long term.
China's banking and insurance regulator said bad loans at banks are at a high level and risks are relatively large, with smaller banks under pressure this year as credit risks continue to accumulate.
