BEIJING: China's consumer inflation saw a mild uptick last month, driven by higher consumption demand during the Spring Festival holiday, while factory-gate prices continued to moderate, official data showed Friday.

The country's consumer price index (CPI), a main gauge of inflation, rose 2.1 percent year on year in January and edged up 0.8 percent from the previous month, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said.
