* Shares in China Mobile (0941.HK: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the world's largest wireless carrier, added another 2.4 percent to its 7.2 percent slide in the last two sessions, as investors continued to fret about the company's growth prospects in China's changing telecom landscape.

* Fashion brand Esprit Holdings (0330.HK: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) dropped 7.1 percent on Monday as analysts predicted another month of flat retail sales growth in Germany, Esprit's No.1 market.
