 China's retail sales growth slowed to 10.0 percent on-year in October, government data showed Monday, missing expectations in a worrying sign for domestic demand in the world's second-largest economy.

October's industrial output growth matched the previous month's figure at 6.1 percent, the National Bureau of Statistics said, also slightly below forecasts, while fixed-asset investment rose 8.3 percent in the first ten months of the year.
