China's industrial profit growth cooled to 11.2% in July as domestic demand slowed, down from 15.1% in June, official data showed Thursday. The $20 trillion economy faces pressure from rising input costs and sluggish local consumption. The slowdown increases pressure on policymakers to roll out fresh stimulus measures to support growth.
