China's factory activity returns to expansion

Original: Factory activity returns to expansion in a positive sign for China’s economy

China's factory sector has returned to growth, with manufacturing activity moving back into expansion territory. The pickup in output and orders is being read as an encouraging signal for the world's second-largest economy, which has faced sluggish demand and property-sector strain. Analysts say the data offers some reassurance, though attention will turn to whether the improvement can be sustained in coming months.

Why now: Fresh manufacturing data showed Chinese factories expanding again, easing concerns about the country's economic slowdown.
