China manufacturing activity expands slightly in September - official PMI

BEIJING (Reuters) - Activity in China's manufacturing sector expanded slightly in September, an official survey showed on Saturday.

The official Purchasing Managers' Index (CNPMIB=ECI) (PMI) stood at 50.4 in September, identical with the previous month's 50.4 and above the 50-point mark that separates growth from contraction on a monthly basis.

Analysts polled by Reuters had predicted another reading of 50.4.
