By Samuel Shen, Ankur Banerjee and Tom Westbrook SHANGHAI/SINGAPORE (Reuters) - China's highly anticipated announcement of financial stimulus plans on Saturday was big on intent but low on the measurable details that investors need to ratify their recent return to the world's second-biggest stock market.

Investors and analysts are expecting China to deploy as much as 2 trillion yuan ($283 billion) in fresh fiscal stimulus as Beijing seeks to shore up the world’s second-biggest economy and boost confidence.

Meanwhile, one expert suggested that investors are misunderstanding China's intent in providing the stimulus boosts. According to Arthur Kroeber, founding partner of Gavekal Dragonomics, Beijing's intent isn't to accelerate the economy by enabling consumers, but simply to stabilize it.
