HONG KONG, March 19 (Reuters) - By 0221 GMT, the benchmark
Hang Seng Index was flat at 21,349. The China Enterprises
Index of top locally listed mainland Chinese stocks was
also little changed at 12,217.
Here are some of the stocks on the move:
* China Mobile rose 0.9 percent, extending Thursday's 1.2 percent gain after reporting forecast-beating results.
* China Overseas Land fell 1.3 percent after China's largest developer said it expected little growth in sales volume this year.
Other developers were down as investors booked recent gains and on renewed worries China will impose more measures to cool the property sector.
Hong Kong developer Henderson Land slipped 1.3 percent and Sino Land was down 0.3 percent.
