The RatingDog China General Composite PMI rose to 51.0 in August 2025 from 50.8 in the previous month, marking the highest reading since November 2024.
It also represented the third consecutive month of private sector growth, driven by broad-based expansion across manufacturing and services.
Total new orders accelerated, while export orders declined at the slowest pace in five months.
Stronger demand also led to a renewed rise in backlogs, and business confidence reached a five-month high.
However, overall employment slipped slightly after a marginal increase in July.
On the cost side, input prices edged higher for a second month, while output charges continued to fall.
