China's manufacturing activity softens in June amid export weakness

Growth in China's manufacturing activity softened in June as export demand weakened and producers struggled with supply bottlenecks, a survey showed Wednesday. The monthly purchasing managers' index issued by the national statistics agency and an industry group declined to 50.9 from May's 51.0 on a 100-point scale on which numbers above 50 show activity increasing.

Supply shortages continued to hold back output in the manufacturing sector. China's factory output and consumer spending have rebounded to above pre-pandemic levels but export demand is uneven as governments fight outbreaks of the new coronavirus variant.
