China's factory activity contracted at a steeper pace in November amid renewed COVID-19 outbreaks and a more complicated and grimmer international environment, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Wednesday.
The official purchasing managers index for China's manufacturing sector fell to 48 in November, down from October's 49.2 and well below the 50-point mark separating growth from contraction, data from the NBS showed. That was the second straight month of contractions and the lowest since April.
'In November, impacted by multiple factors including the wide and frequent spread of domestic outbreaks, and the international environment becoming more complex and severe, China's purchasing managers' index fell,' NBS senior statistician Zhao Qinghe said in a statement.
The manufacturing PMI has been in contraction territory for all but four months of the year so far, as a summer of heat waves was bookended by Covid lockdowns in major cities during the spring and autumn.
Zhao said domestic outbreaks in November caused 'production activity to slow down and product orders to fall', noting 'increased fluctuation in market expectations”.
Activity fell at businesses of all sizes during the month, with the PMI for small enterprises hit hardest at 45.6. A sub-index for production came in at 47.8 versus 49.6 a month earlier, and a gauge of new orders came in at 46.4 compared with 48.1 in October.
Meanwhile, the non-manufacturing PMI came in at 46.7 in November, also reflecting a contraction in activity and down from 48.7 in October.
The NBS said that for transport, accommodation, catering and entertainment in particular 'the total industry business volume fell significantly', as 'some regions saw a relatively large impact from the pandemic'.

从企业规模看，大、中、小型企业PMI分别为49.1%、48.1%和45.6%，比上月下降1.0、0.8和2.6个百分点，均低于临界点。
11月份，非制造业商务活动指数为46.7%，比上月下降2个百分点，低于临界点，非制造业景气水平有所回落。
分行业看，11月服务业商务活动指数为45.1%，较上月回落1.9个百分点，仅高于4月的40%，为年内次低水平。11月建筑业商务活动指数为55.4%，低于上月2.8个百分点，连续第6个月处于较高景气区间。
