　　HSBC analyst² Qu Hongbin attributed the higher-than-expected CPI growth largely to high food inflation.

　　NBS statistician Yu Qiumei said that vegetable and pork prices went up due to supply shock during a cold in February and demand for pork and transportation rose around the Lunar New Year holiday, while service prices had increased along with labor⁴ costs.

　　国家统计局统计员余秋梅表示，蔬菜和猪肉的价格上涨，一是因为受二月寒冷天气的供应冲击，二是农历春节期间猪肉需求增加，三是春运期间交通价格上涨，还有就是因为在此期间，随着劳动力成本的增加，服务价格也随之增加。

　　Since this January, CPI data has been based on a new comparison base that takes into account new products and services, reflecting a change in the consumption pattern, according to the NBS. The adjustment slightly tuned⁵ down the weight of food.
