The Caixin China General Composite PMI fell to 55.8 in December 2020 from a more than ten-year high of 57.5 in November, but nonetheless signaled a further marked increase in total Chinese output. Sector data showed that softer, but still sharp, increases in output were recorded across both the manufacturing and service sectors. New orders rose the least in four months; while employment expanded marginally, with job creation at services companies helping to offset stagnant manufacturing staff numbers. Prices data pointed input cost inflation hit its highest in three years, while output charges increased solidly and at the steepest rate since November 2016. Finally, entrepreneurs were confident about further improvement to the economy in the upcoming year. "We need to pay attention to the mounting pressure on costs brought by the increase in raw material prices and its adverse impact on employment," said Wang Zhe, senior economist at Caixin Insight Group. source: Markit Economics
