China's fixed asset investment rose 11.4 percent from a year earlier to 17.12 trillion yuan (2.8 trillion U.S. dollars) in the first five months of the year, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said on Thursday.

The increase slowed from the 12-percent level registered in the Jan.-April period this year.
