China’s manufacturing sector continues to shrink, with August’s index at 49.8 — a small uptick from July’s 49.2 — but still signaling contraction. Economic growth slowed to 4.3% in Q2, the weakest since late 2022, as consumer spending lags and the property market drags. Retail and industrial output cooled further in July. Beijing is preparing fiscal and monetary stimulus, though economists doubt the scale will be enough. A key bright spot: exports are surging double-digits, fueled by global demand for AI-related tech, offering crucial support amid broader economic headwinds.
