In May 2026 (Q2 2026), China's Services Business Activity PMI reported 50.3, a significant rebound from the previous observation of 49.6, returning above the 50-point threshold. Supported by policy measures and infrastructure advancement, the overall Non-Manufacturing PMI also beat market consensus. However, new orders and employment remain weak, and the subsequent recovery of domestic demand still requires continuous policy efforts.
