Fresh economic data from China has added to a raft of indicators suggesting the world's second largest economy remains in the doldrums.
Both industrial output and retail sales fell short of expectations for the month of July.
The figures underline China's difficulty of transforming the economy away from factories and exports.
The data come just as economic growth had ever so slightly improved in the second quarter.
Earlier this week though, China's latest trade data had also pointed to a further slowdown.
A spokesman for the National Statistics Bureau said on Friday that the country's economy was still in a period of adjustment and facing downward pressure.
