- This mild improvement follows mid-May tariff de-escalations between Beijing and Washington amid cautious business sentiment over ongoing trade negotiations.
- New orders in the manufacturing sector climbed above the 50.0 mark, and the non-manufacturing PMI increased to 50.5; however, activity among medium- and small-sized enterprises continued to lag behind.
- Economist Zichun Huang said the economy regained momentum but warned weaker exports and fading fiscal support might slow activity in the year's second half.
- China's Politburo meeting in July will clarify growth outlook as officials likely delay further monetary easing and continue reforms shifting toward a consumer-driven economy.
