Chinaâs government reported industrial production growth unexpectedly accelerated in May, hours after Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, left, said further steps were needed to cool the countryâs economy. Output rose 18.1 percent in May from a year earlier, the National Bureau of Statistics said, after gaining 17.4 percent in April. Mr. Wen said Wednesday that monetary policy needed âmoderate tightening,â underscoring the failure of two interest rate increases this year to slow the economy. Record trade surpluses have pumped money into the financial system, stoking investment, inflation and a stock market boom. For the first five months, industrial production climbed 18.1 percent from the period last year, up from 16.6 percent growth for all of 2006.
