Retail sales jumped 6.4% from a year earlier in May , sharply beating analysts' estimates for a 5% growth in a Reuters poll.

Growth in industrial output slowed to 5.8% year-on-year , slightly weaker than analysts' expectations for 5.9% rise.

Sluggish domestic demand stuck out as a more pressing issue for Chinese policymakers.

China 's exports to the U.S. plunged over 34% , sharpest drop since February 2020 .
