The purchasing managers' index (PMI) for China's manufacturing sector stood at 49.2 in November, up 0.2 percentage points from the previous month, official data showed Sunday.
A reading above 50 indicates expansion, while a reading below 50 reflects contraction.

On the demand side, the sub-index for new orders came in at 49.2, up 0.4 percentage points, according to the figures from the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing and the Service Survey Center of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
"The manufacturing PMI in November showed a slight rebound, with business conditions improving.

The PMI for large enterprises came in at 49.3, a drop of 0.6 percentage points, while the reading for medium-sized enterprises stood at 48.9, up 0.2 percentage points.
"Industry-wise, the production and new order indices for sectors such as agricultural food processing, and non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling were located in the expansionary zone, indicating active production and demand," Huo said.
High-tech manufacturing continued to expand, with its PMI standing at 50.1 -- remaining above the critical point for 10 consecutive months, according to the NBS.
In addition, the finished goods inventory sub-index came in at 47.3 in November, down 0.8 percentage points from October, suggesting smooth sales activities at Chinese companies.
Market expectations remained stable with a slight upward trend. The sub-index for production and operation activity expectation stood at 53.1, up 0.3 percentage points from October, indicating that manufacturing enterprises have grown more confident in recent market developments.
