China's inflation data show economy in doldrums despite a slight improvement in trade_我的网站

A | 距离韩国定于2027年2月全面生效的禁食狗肉法案仅剩最后数月时间,今年夏天也就成了韩国境内可以合法交易、食用狗肉的最后一个伏季,延续数百年的狗肉消费传统即将在当地正式画上句点。按照流传多年的传统习俗,韩国人进入三伏天之后,习惯喝一碗热气腾腾的狗肉汤补养身体,往年这段时间也都是全国各地狗肉馆生意最火爆的消费旺季,不少开了几十年的老店整个伏期都要排队迎客。 HONG KONG -- China’s economy remains in the doldrums, data released Friday showed, with prices falling due to slack demand from consumers and businesses. Consumer prices remained flat in September compared with a year earlier, the National Bureau of Statistics said, while wholesale prices fell 2.5%. Exports and imports also fell last month as demand fell in overseas markets. The faltering recovery of the world’s second largest economy from the shocks of the COVID-19 pandemic is dragging on regional and global growth, though economists have said the worst might have passed. Trade ticked up slightly from the month before and manufacturing is showing signs of improvement. Earlier this week, the International Monetary Fund cut growth forecasts for China, predicting economic growth of 5% this year and 4.2% in 2024, down slightly from its forecasts in July.The IMF attributed its downward revision to weaker consumer confidence, subdued global demand and a crisis in the property sector that has made a big dent in business activity.China is due to report economic growth data on Oct. 18 and economists are forecasting the economy grew at a 4.4% annual pace in July-September, down from 6.3% in the previous quarter.Friday's data showed food prices dropped 3.2% in September, with the price of pork sliding 22% from a year earlier, a steeper decrease than the 17.9% drop in August.Core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, rose 0.8% from a year earlier, the statistics bureau said, similar to a 0.8% rise in August.The recovery in domestic consumer demand has been much weaker than hoped for, and excess competition has provoked price wars in some sectors. “September's inflation data remind us that despite some firming in activity indicators recently, China's economic recovery remains challenged,” Robert Carnell of ING Economics said in a report. It forecast that consumer inflation will be at 0.5% for all of 2023 and only rise to 1% in 2024. China's producer price index — which measures prices factories charge wholesalers — has fallen for a full year, though last month it contracted more slowly than in August.Still, China’s manufacturing sector is showing some signs of improvement. A survey of factory managers showed activity returning to growth. The official purchasing managers’ index for September rose to 50.2 from 49.7 in August, the first time it had topped 50 in six months. A reading above 50 indicates an increase from the previous month.Car sales in China rose 4.7% in September from a year earlier, the China Passenger Car Association reported earlier this week. Passenger vehicle sales totaled 2.04 million units. The growth came ahead of the China’s long Mid-Autumn and National Day holidays in October. It's typically a bumper time for car dealers as people buy vehicles ahead of the week-long national holidays.And the real estate sector is muddling through the troubles brought on by a crackdown on heavy borrowing by developers that has hamstrung many home builders.“The housing market appears to have stabilized recently thanks to the latest round of property easing measures, which could drive a modest recovery in home sales and mortgage demand in the coming months,” Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics said in a commentary Friday. China’s global trade remained muted in September, with both exports and imports falling from the same time a year earlier.Imports and exports both slid 6.2% from a year earlier, although the economy declined at a slower rate compared to August after a slew of measures were released to support the economy.。

B | 随着禁令落地的时间进入最后倒计时,首尔以及韩国多个城市经营多年的狗肉馆,最近突然迎来了大量专程赶来吃最后一碗狗肉汤的老食客,不少结伴而来的都是喝着狗肉汤长大的中老年当地人,打算赶在禁令正式生效前最后回味一次老味道。

C | 随着禁食狗肉法案落地进入倒计时,整个韩国狗肉馆相关的上下游行业都在逐步走向落幕。

D | 最近这些年当地宠物饲养普及率连年攀升,民众的动物福利意识也明显提升,整个社会舆论的风向早就发生了根本性转向,韩国此前发布的全民民调结果显示,超过八成民众都明确支持禁食狗肉的相关法案。这次全面落地的禁令,也给大量依靠狗肉产业链生存的餐饮从业者带来了不小的生存与转型压力。部分经营了十几年的餐馆已经开始尝试调整菜单,把主打食材从狗肉替换成黑山羊肉,改做黑山羊汤维持门店运营。但几乎所有做了转型尝试的经营者都反馈,黑山羊汤的受众群体和原来的狗肉汤食客重叠度很低,新菜品的营收收益完全填不上过去狗肉热销时期的利润缺口,而当地政府承诺给从业者提供的转型援助补贴也十分有限,根本不足以支撑整个行业完成平稳过渡。 。
