so how is beijing responding? and do you think that there will be any change to their policy in the near future? you know, there certainly is some concern as businesses continue to face pressure from high raw material costs. china is still on track to expand more than 8 percent this year now, but outbreaks of the delta variance threaten, he threw to throw everything off track. so consumer inflation slowed slightly in beijing is kind of echoing the us with rhetoric right now saying that they believe domestic inflationary pressures is largely controllable. so we expect beijing to maintain a mix of targeted tiny and universal eating throughout the remainder of the year. but for now, the persistent inflation and diminishing growth point to slow down, but it doesn't look like that would be a risk that caught expenses will search in the near future. so they're live peak largely in non facts unlike that of the us. and in china, it was primarily fueled by fuel and fuel related transport services, which had been suffering
