Growth in China's industrial production, a measure of output at factories, workshops and mines, rose in November to its highest level since June, official data showed Saturday, a bright spot for the world's second-largest economy as it struggles with slowing growth.

Industrial output increased 6.2 percent last month from a year ago, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said, the first increase since August and a significant jump over October's figure of 5.6 percent.
