China's stock indexes ended lower on Wednesday, on concerns that upcoming new listings will dilute market liquidity even as investors look to take profits from a rise in some large-cap shares.
sentiment was dampened by profit-taking in some index heavyweight shares, as well as a sell-off in media stocks on the ChiNext board after a three-day rally.
The Shanghai Composite Index finished down 0.2 per cent at 2,240.21 points, while the CSI300 of leading Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listings fell 0.4 per cent to 2,366.14 points.
