China Faces Growing Deflation Concerns Amid Sluggish Economic Growth

Despite recent stimulus measures, China's inflation and trade figures highlight persistent economic challenges.

China's consumer price index increased by only 0.4% in September, falling short of expectations and indicating weak domestic demand.
Producer prices declined by 2.8% year-on-year, marking the sharpest drop in six months and contributing to deflationary pressures.
Exports grew by 2.4% in September, significantly below forecasts, as global demand for Chinese goods weakened.
The Chinese government has announced plans for economic stimulus, but details remain vague, leading to skepticism about its effectiveness.
High youth unemployment and a burst property bubble add to the economic headwinds China is facing, prompting calls for more robust fiscal intervention.
