China's August factory activity weakens for second straight month

BEIJING, Aug 31 ― China's manufacturing activity dropped in August for the second month in a row, official data showed today, as strict zero-Covid restrictions and extreme heat hit growth.

The economy faced"unfavourable factors including the epidemic and high temperatures" this month, NBS senior statistician Zhao Qinghe said in a statement. But officials show few signs of relaxing strict pandemic curbs, with the southern tech hub of Shenzhen sealing off the world's largest electronics market this week despite just dozens of daily cases in the city of more than 18 million.
