Mumbai, Dec. 10 -- China's consumer price index (CPI), a main gauge of inflation, grew at a faster pace in November, driven by rising food prices, official data showed Wednesday.

On a monthly basis, the CPI edged down 0.1 percent last month, the NBS data showed.
The core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, increased by 1.2 percent year on year last month.
