BEIJING (dpa-AFX) - The manufacturing sector in China moved barely to expansion territory in September, the latest survey from Caixin revealed on Friday with a manufacturing PMI score of 50.1.
That's up from stagnation at 50.0 in August, and it moves above that boom-or-bust line into expansion.
Individually, there was growth in new work purchasing activity, although employment continued to contract.
Inflationary pressures started to show signs of picking up.
