What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

China's official manufacturing purchasing managers’ index fell to 49.3 in October, reversing a previous month's rebound. This reading indicates contraction, as readings below 50 signal a downturn. Several key subindexes, including production and new export orders, were also in contraction territory in October. Chinese companies are shipping more goods abroad to find buyers due to weakened domestic demand, which is being dragged down by the property sector downturn.
