China's consumer price index (CPI), a main gauge of inflation, rose 1.9 percent year-on-year in December last year, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) announced Thursday.

It is the second straight monthly growth after the index ended nine months of decline in November.

The full year inflation was down 0.7 percent, NBS said.
