    CHINA'S industrial output slowed last month as the government continued its war on polluting factories and closed coal-burning furnaces.

    Growth of output in China's millions of factories slowed to 6.1 per cent, its second lowest reading since December 2016, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Thursday.
