Will China trigger a collapse?

China falls deeper into deflation territory, hitting markets, as UK house asking prices drop – business live

China’s consumer price index (CPI) dropped 0.5% on a monthly basis in November, showing that prices of a basket of goods and services fell compared with October.

CPI was also 0.5% lower on an annual basis, China’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported, which is the steepest drop since November 2020.

The drops have disappointed investors, as they indicate rising deflationary pressures as domestic demand remains subdued.
