The output is the highest monthly total since last July, Li Yizhong, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, told reporters at a press conference on Tuesday.

But the total output in the first two months declined 1.7 percent from a year earlier to 1.53 million units, Li said.

However, "the declining rate slowed", he said.
