In a sign that the mainland's manufacturing sector may be recovering, the closely-watched purchasing managers' index came in at 50.5 for March, according to data released on Sunday by the National Bureau of Statistics.
That compares to 49.2 for February.
A figure above 50 indicates expansion and a figure below 50 indicates contraction.
Meanwhile the purchasing managers' index for the mainland's non-manufacturing sector came in at 54.8 for March, up from 54.3 in February.
