China’s industrial output and retail sales increased at a faster pace in May, adding to evidence that Premier Li Keqiang’s support measures are stabilizing the world’s second-biggest economy. Factory production rose 8.8 percent in May from a year earlier, the National Bureau of Statistics said in Beijing today, up from 8.7 percent in April. Retail sales increased 12.5 percent and January-May fixed-asset investment growth was little changed at 17.2 percent.
