Asian stocks kicked off Monday mixed, as traders digest a slew of Chinese data released over the weekend and tread cautiously ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting this week.

Retail sales were the lone positive surprise, growing 10.8 percent in August from a year earlier, above forecasts of 10.5 percent.
"Further deceleration in investments and imports plunge remain worrying. This ups the likelihood of more China stimulus, but dampens the Fed jumping the gun," analysts at Mizuho Bank wrote in an e-mail note released early Monday.
