- Economist Wang Zhe observed that in eight out of the past nine months, the manufacturing sector experienced expansion, reflecting a gradual improvement in market conditions, although export difficulties persist.
- The data suggests gradual recovery supported by stimulus policies, while new export orders staying negative imply export difficulties may persist longer term.
