    China's inflation rate rises 2 percent in August

    BEIJING (AP) — China says its inflation rate rose 2 percent in August compared with a year earlier, spurred by a 3.4 percent jump in food prices.

    The consumer price index for August accelerated from a 1.8 percent rise in the previous month but was still well below last year's highs.

    China's National Bureau of Statistics said Sunday that producer prices fell 3.5 percent year-on-year, compared with a 2.9 percent decline in July.
