China's consumer price index, a main gauge of inflation, rose 0.9 percent year-on-year in February, flat from the growth seen in the same period last year, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed Wednesday. On a monthly basis, the CPI gained 0.6 percent due to rising food demand during Spring Festival, which fell in February this year, along with fluctuations in global energy prices, senior NBS statistician Dong Lijuan noted.
