China's stats bureau says home demand stays inadequate

The data is here:

• China November: Retail sales +3.0% y/y (exp +4.6%) Industrial output +5.4% y/y (exp +5.3%)

National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) comments:

• Positive changes in China’s economy further increased
• External environment
  has become more complex
• Domestic demand
  remains insufficient
• Some enterprises
  face operational difficulties
• The foundation for
  sustained economic recovery and improvement still needs to be
  strengthened
• Trend of recovery in consumption has not changed
