SHANGHAI, Sept 20 (Reuters) -China stocks closed higher on Friday, logging their first weekly gain in a month, as the jumbo U.S. rate cut strengthened bets Beijing will soon unveil fresh stimulus.

** Hong Kong shares rose for the fifth day, posting the best week in five months, amid a broad rally in global equities.

** Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index .HIS rose 1.4%, bringing its weekly gain to 5.1%,as the Federal Reserve kicked off its rate-cutting cycle on Wednesday with a bigger-than-expected 50-basis-point cut.
