China's consumer prices rose by a moderate 0.9 percent year-on-year in 2021, official data showed on Wednesday. The reading provides a solid base for China's steady economic growth and serves as a stabilizer for the global economy facing downward pressure, experts said.

官方1月12日公布数据显示，2021年全年，全国居民消费价格比上年上涨0.9%，呈现低位平稳运行态势。专家表示，在世界经济面临下行压力的情况下，这为2022年经济“稳字当头、稳中求进”奠定了良好的基础。

The consumer price index (CPI) rose 1.5 percent in December, while factory gate prices as measured by the producer price index (PPI) surged 10.3 percent, although both rates edged down from the November figures, according to official data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Wednesday.

据国家统计局公布数据，2021年12月份，居民消费价格同比上涨1.5%，全国工业生产者出厂价格同比上涨10.3%，涨幅比上月均有回落。

The compensation included 496,000 yuan for Jiang Qiulian's financial losses and 200,000 yuan for her mental anguish over the death of her daughter, Jiang Ge.

A top Chinese consumer group has called for a boycott of a KFC meal promotion, saying it encourages food waste.

近日，中国消费者协会发文称，肯德基的一项套餐促销活动诱导食物浪费，应当抵制。

The China Consumers Association (CCA) says the promotion sent some customers into a buying frenzy.

中消协表示，肯德基此举引发了部分消费者的抢购。

KFC launched the promotion last week with Pop Mart, a Chinese toy maker known for its mystery boxes.

上周，肯德基与知名国产盲盒销售商泡泡玛特联合推出一款联名款盲盒套餐。

KFC "used limited-edition blind box sales to induce and condone consumers' irrational and excessive purchase of meal sets, which goes against public order, good customs and the spirit of the law", the state-affiliated CCA said in a statement.

中消协称，肯德基利用限量款盲盒销售手段，诱导并纵容消费者不理性超量购买食品套餐，有悖公序良俗和法律精神。

That led one customer to spend 10,494 yuan (£1,202; $1,649) on more than 100 of the meals in one go to collect the toys, while people also paid others to purchase meals for them, or just threw them away, the statement added.

声明写道，有消费者不惜一次性斥资10494元购买106份套餐；还有消费者为“求娃”而购买“代吃”服务，雇人代买代吃套餐而获得盲盒，甚至不排除将吃不完的食物直接丢弃。
