The latest data shows that China's manufacturing PMI new export orders for the third quarter of 2026 (as of 2026-09-01) dropped to 50.0, slightly down from the previous value of 50.1, landing exactly on the boom-bust line. Although the overall manufacturing sector has returned to expansion driven by policy support, overseas order demand has turned neutral. Future attention should be paid to changes in end-demand in Europe and the US, as well as the transmission effects of domestic policies.
