The other measure of inflation, the producer price index (PPI), dropped as much as 4.5 percent in February.

China's tightening monetary policy starting at the end of 2007 caused the CPI to start falling in May after it peaked at 8.7 percent in February last year. It fell to 1.0 percent in January, the lowest in 30 months.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) released the figures today.
