BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s manufacturing growth slowed in April, a survey showed on Sunday, suggesting that the government’s tightening efforts have weighed on the world’s second-largest economy more heavily than expected.

The official purchasing managers’ index for China fell to 52.9 in April from 53.4 in March, well shy of market forecasts for an increase to 54.0.

BEIJING, April 12 (Reuters) – China’s growing global
economic footprint was on display on Tuesday, with a Greek
minister saying Beijing will help his country overcome its debt
crisis and a Brazilian official brandishing a big jet order from
Chinese airlines.

A parade of foreign leaders are in China this week to attend
a summit of BRICS countries — Brazil, Russia, India, China and

Chinese island of Hainan.

BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s latest interest rate increase puts it near the end of a sustained campaign of monetary tightening, a shift in policy stance that will support economic growth this year but lay the groundwork for asset bubbles down the road.

The steady drip-drip of actions to tame inflation since October has succeeded in reining in money growth and slowing the upward momentum of price pressures.

BEIJING (Reuters) – A lack of cohesion on global monetary reform will be on display this week when the Group of 20 wealthy and developing economies meets in China for a seminar, an event that was supposed to have been a starting point for Sino-French efforts to design a new global currency order.

At the start of its year-long G20 presidency, the French government thought it could count on China as a partner in spearheading change. Four months on, those hopes have been dashed by the reality of conflicting national interests and the enormity of the challenge in any serious attempt at reform.

BEIJING, March 28 (Reuters) – China will be able to cap
inflation below the full-year target of a 4 percent average rise
in prices, the People’s Daily said in a front-page editorial
published on Monday.

People’s Daily commentary reflects growing confidence in Beijing
that the government has inflation under control, despite soaring
global fuel prices.
