SHANGHAI, June 6 (Reuters) - China stocks edged up on Tuesday amid expectations of more policy easing to aid the sluggish economic recovery, while "candid" talks between senior U.S. and Chinese officials also helped soothe geopolitical concerns.

** China's blue-chip CSI300 Index and the Shanghai Composite Index both added 0.1% by the midday recess.

** Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng was up 0.5% and the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index climbed 0.9%.

** China will likely further cut banks' reserve ratio and interest rates in the second half of this year to support the economy, the China Securities Journal reported on Tuesday, citing policy advisers and economists.

** Hong Kong-listed mainland property stocks jumped nearly 5%, and the CSI 300 Real Estate Index rose 1.5%, as investors clung to hopes that Beijing would roll out supportive measures soon to bolster the embattled sector.

** Hopes of further national stimulus policies increased last Friday after several second-tier cities announced their own supportive measures.

** Meetings between senior U.S. and Chinese officials in China this week struck an upbeat chord, with both sides agreeing to maintain communication lines, even as Beijing remained leery of more "provocative" U.S. moves and open clashes are still a risk.

** Chinese Mixed Reality (MR)-theme stocks fell after Apple launched its MR headset overnight that failed to excite Wall Street.

** Hong Kong-listed technology giants advanced 0.6%.

** Investors are closely watching the May export and import data slated for Wednesday.

** China's imports are expected to have contracted in May, despite a low base last year, as a lockdown in Shanghai brought the country's biggest port to a standstill, while exports likely fell for the first time in three months, a Reuters poll showed.
