China's manufacturing sector demonstrated resilience in September with both official and private indicators showing potential stabilization. The official Manufacturing PMI reached 49.8, representing the strongest performance since March, though still below the 50-point growth threshold. A private survey showed even better results at 51.2, the highest since May.
Chinese manufacturers continue facing challenges from weak domestic demand and US tariffs affecting exports. The non-manufacturing sector showed mixed results, with the PMI slightly declining to 52.9. These indicators suggest gradual economic recovery potential despite ongoing structural challenges.
