BEIJING: Inflation in China grew at its slowest pace since last October, official data showed on Friday , falling from eight-year highs due to a drop in food prices as the country gradually lifts virus lockdowns.

That was worse than the 0.4 per cent fall in February and the 1.1 per cent contraction expected in a Bloomberg survey of analysts.
