Employees work at a factory in the Shanghai Lingang Industrial Park in Shanghai, April 20, 2012. China's factories stabilised in April as output ticked higher, new business rose from multi-month lows and export orders perked up, though not sufficiently for a private sector survey of purchasing managers to flag a return to expansionary territory.

China’s industrial output is expected to grow around 5.6 percent in 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said on Monday.

Industrial production rose 6.2 percent year-on-year in November, quickening from 4.7 percent in October. It was also the fastest year-on-year growth in five months, official data have shown.
