China's industrial activity experienced a notable uptick in June. The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for the manufacturing sector, as determined by Caixin Media Co and S&P Global, increased to 51.8 points from 51.7 in May. This PMI reflects the responses of approximately 400 companies, with an emphasis on smaller, privately-owned enterprises.
Is this self-reported by China? Is this information usually reliable?
