Chinese shares edged down 0.44 percent on Wednesday, trailing the downward trend of the previous three trading days, amid investors' wait-and-see attitude.

Aggregate turnover on the two bourses edged up to 54.7 billion yuan (around $8 billion) from 48.22 billion yuan on the previous trading day.

Losses outnumbered gains by 431-368 in Shanghai, and 355-299 in Shenzhen.
