In December, China's manufacturing sector experienced minimal growth, with the purchasing managers' index (PMI) dipping slightly to 50.1, indicating a fragile recovery as services and construction sectors improved. Policymakers are optimistic that recent fiscal measures will help stabilize the economy despite ongoing challenges, including a property crisis and looming trade tariffs from the incoming U.S. administration. While new orders in manufacturing reached an eight-month high, overall sentiment remains cautious due to export concerns and negative trends in employment and factory prices.
