Pork, a staple in Chinese cuisine, saw prices go up by 18.1 percent in June after a 4.6 percent growth in May.

Dong Lijuan, an NBS statistician, attributed the year-on-year CPI growth to a well-stocked market, while the PPI declined due to factors including the international commodity price fluctuations and insufficient demand for some industrial products in the domestic market. 

国家统计局统计师董莉娟表示，CPI同比增长是由于市场储备充足，而PPI下降则受国际大宗商品价格波动和国内市场部分工业产品需求不足等因素影响。
