National Bureau of Statistics of China
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change in the price of goods and services from the perspective of the consumer. It is a key way to measure changes in purchasing trends and inflation.

A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the CNY, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the CNY.

CPI Discussion

Slowing growth plus rising prices... China is facing the same as the rest of the world; STAGFLATION. Combined with a real estate meltdown
they had stagflation since 2016 but its not publicised for obvious reasons . I worked there and this data doesn't tell the full story.
 Is the real story better or worse?
 It depends how you want to view it. CCP will intervene in local regional economies to prevent mass unrest by injecting liquidity so overseas fund managers don't really panic. There is a critical point when artificial measures stop working. Just remember China excels in engineering artificial demand. This released data uses inputs that ignore this.
What a complete joke. In less than 45 minutes, the Chinese figures were altered twice.
