Official data shows China's consumer prices grew 2.3 percent in February from one year earlier, and up from January's 1.8 percent rise.
The reading beats expectations and analysts attribute the growth largely to high food inflation.
Food prices, which account for one-third of the Consumer Price Index calculation, soared 7.3 percent in February from a year ago.
Vegetable and pork prices went up due to supply shock during a cold February and demand for pork and transportation rose around the Lunar New Year holiday.
Meanwhile, the producer price index, which measures wholesale inflation, dropped for the 48th consecutive month to 4.9 percent year on year in February, narrowing from the 5.3-percent drop in January.
The presidential election has kicked off in Myanmar's parliament, with three candidates vying for the top job.
The three candidates represent the House of Representatives, House of Nationalities and non-elected military-assigned representatives.
The National League for Democracy led by Aung San Suu Kyi, which swept last November's general election, has nominated two candidates in the Lower and Upper houses.
Reports say Lower House candidate U Htin Kyaw is almost certain to be elected president by the NLD-controlled parliament.
The election process could last for a few days.
North Korea has decided to liquidate all South Korean assets in the country while nullifying all inter-Korean economic cooperation projects.
The move is in response to Seoul's unilateral sanctions against Pyongyang announced earlier in the week.
North Korea has also threatened to take what it calls "special measures" aimed at the South Korean government by inflicting political, military, and economic damages.
Meanwhile, North Korea has fired two short-range ballistic missiles into its eastern waters, following similar launches earlier this month.
It comes as the annual joint U.S.-South Korean military exercises are currently underway.
US media are reporting that a shooting at a party in Pennsylvania has left five people dead.
The shooting happened in the town of Wilkinsburg.
Citing police, media say four of the victims died at the scene, and four others were wounded, one of whom died in hospital.
Police are reportedly looking for at least two suspects.
The United States is urging all UN members states to quickly mobilize to prevent the possible collapse of Iraq's largest dam in Mosul.
US ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, says a possible breach could bring a "humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions."
She says if the dam collapses, it would unleash a wave as high as 14 meters, devastating Mosul and flooding much of the capital Baghdad, with up to 1.5 million people at grave risk.
The Mosul dam in northern Iraq was built on an unstable foundation that continuously erodes.
A lapse in required maintenance after the Islamic State jihadist group briefly seized the facility in 2014 has weakened the already flawed structure.
Britain's Sky News says it had obtained documents connected to 10's of thousands Islamic State militants.
The documents the British news agency says its has reportedly contain 22-thousand names, addresses, and telephone numbers and family contacts of the militants.
They reportedly include the identities of a number of previously unknown jihadists in the UK and northern Europe, Canada, the United States and parts of the Middle East and North Africa.
Sky News says the files were passed on to the agency through a memory stick stolen from the head of the Islamic State's internal security service.
An American boy with terminal cancer who had wanted to be famous in China has died.
8-year-old Dorian Murray from Rhode Island passed away on Tuesday.
Dorian was diagnosed with a rare and untreatable form of pediatric cancer when he was 4 years old.
He told his father he wanted to be famous in China, after his condition suddenly deteriorated a few months ago.
His father then posted his wish on Facebook, requesting people use the hashtag #DStrong.
The move then spread across the globe.
It especially took off in China, where people sent photos of themselves on the Great Wall holding signs reading #DStrong.
