SHANGHAI, Dec 30 (Reuters) - China stocks were mixed on Monday as energy shares rose and consumer-related stocks dropped. Hong Kong shares were down.

For 2024, onshore shares are set to log gains for the first time after three years of losses as multiple policy stimulus measures since September lifted market sentiment.

** Energy shares traded onshore .CSIEN were up 1%, while consumer staples stocks .CSICS were down 0.7%.

** Small-cap stocks traded on Beijing Stock Exchange .CSI899050 slumped 3.2%, also dragging China stocks.

** The market is expected to remain active in the first half of January but external disturbances are likely to increase in the latter half, leading to a cooling of market sentiment, said a strategist at Citic Securities.

** "Policy expectations are anticipated to heat up again after the Lunar New Year," he said.

** Trading volumes have declined since October, following a surge in market sentiment due to a slew of stimulus measures.

** China's finance ministry said in a statement on Monday that the proportion of new energy vehicles procured each year as government vehicles should not be less than 30% in total and 100% in urban areas to "to support and promote" their use.

** The CSI Auto Index .CSI931008 was down 0.6%. Chinese electric vehicle giants traded in Hong Kong also dropped, with Xpeng 9868.HK down 4.5%.

** China's central bank governor said on Sunday, quoted by state media, that the weighted average of reserve requirement ratio $(RRR)$ for banks stands at around 6.6% after the RRR cut, and this level still leaves "some room" when compared to the central banks of major global economies.
