China’s manufacturing sector has shrunk for the fifth consecutive month, an official survey showed.
The country’s manufacturing purchasing managers’ index rose slightly to 49.7, but still sits below 50, which signals a contraction.

It is a very different picture in India, where the economy grew at its quickest pace in a year in the April-June quarter.
