Nov 19 (Reuters) - China stocks ended lower on Wednesday, pulled down by continuing profit-taking on large-cap stocks and pressure on energy counters as global oil prices keep sliding.
The Shanghai Composite Index eased 0.2 percent at 2,451.2 points. The CSI300 index of the largest listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen also declined 0.2 percent.
