中國製造業狀況連續第六個月惡化
Chinese manufacturing conditions deteriorated for a sixth straight month in August, accelerating the pace of decline from what was already a three-year low.
8月份，中國製造業狀況連續第六個月惡化，從原本的三年低點進一步下滑。
Caixin's "flash" purchasing managers' index fell to 47.1 this month, a 77-month low, versus a "final" reading of 47.8 in July. Any score below 50 indicates the manufacturing sector is shrinking.
本月，財新中國製造業採購經理人指數(PMI)初值跌至47.1，爲77個月以來的最低點，也低於7月份的終值47.8。該讀數低於50，表示製造業處於收縮之中。
The data suggest the world's second largest economy continues to struggle for momentum in August. Data for July has already shown exports were down more than 8 per cent year-on-year. Meanwhile, industrial production slowed to a year-on-year pace of 6 per cent, its weakest since April, while retail sales grew at a 10.5 per cent pace, slowing from a 10.6 per cent pace in June.
這一數據表明，全球第二大經濟體在8月份依然勢頭疲軟。7月份的數據已顯示出口同比下滑逾8%。規模以上工業增加值的增長速度也放緩至同比增長6%，是自今年4月以來的最弱增長。而社會消費品零售總額的增幅則從6月份的10.6%下滑至10.5%。
