China's inflation eases but grew 3.3% in April
The price of pork, one of the most sought-after products by Chinese consumers, continued to rise and increased by 96.9 per cent year-on-year last month (it rose 116.4 per cent year-on-year in March and 135 per cent in February) as its production has been affected by an outbreak of African swine fever that has decimated the pig population in the Asian country.
