The latest data out of China show industrial production slowed last month, while investment in real estate development plunged.
The National Bureau of Statistics said on Friday that industrial output was up 4.9 percent year on year in October.
Growth slowed from 6.5 percent in the previous month, partly due to tariff measures by the US Trump administration.
Property investment dropped 14.7 percent in the January-to-October period year on year, expanding the decline.
New home prices fell from a month earlier in over 90 percent of the country’s 70 major cities. This casts a shadow on the expansion of domestic demand, which is a priority for Beijing.
China and the United States lowered additional tariffs they had imposed on each other, starting Monday this week after their summit talks.
But uncertainty remains strong, and future bilateral trade talks continue to be a focal point in the recovery of the economy.
