China's consumer price index (CPI), a main gauge of inflation, rose 0.8 percent year on year in August, official data showed Wednesday.
Data released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that in August, affected by changes in international market prices and other factors, CPI in August increased 0.4 percent month on month, reversing a 0.1 percent decline in July.
Core CPI, which removes volatile food and energy prices, advanced 1.0 percent on an annual basis.
The producer price index (PPI) jumped 3.8 percent year on year, while posting a 0.4 percent month-on-month gain that turned around from a 0.7 percent drop in July.
