China's factory activity extends months-long slump
China's factory activity extends months-long slump
BEIJING, Nov 30, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - China's factory activity shrank for an eighth straight month in November, official data showed Sunday, suggesting the world's second-largest economy remains subdued despite a trade truce with the United States. The manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) -- a key measure of industrial health -- was 49.2 in November, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). That marked an improvement from 49.0 recorded in October but remained below the 50 mark that separates expansion from contraction. The reading missed a median forecast of 49.4 from a Bloomberg survey of economists. The slight uptick comes after Chinese leader Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump met in South Korea in October and agreed on a temporary truce in their bruising trade war. Trump said he would halve a 20-percent tariff on Chinese goods and Xi agreed to suspend certain export restrictions on the key rare-earth sector for one year. China would also resume purchases of US soybeans after orders came to a halt this harvest season, according to Trump. Meanwhile, the non-manufacturing PMI, which measures activity in sectors including services and construction, was 49.5 in November, marking the first contraction in nearly three years. Weakness in the real estate and residential services sectors helped drag the figure down 0.6 percentage points from October. Despite signs of weakness, the Chinese economy remains on course to hit its annual growth target of around 5 percent this year.

 TEL AVIV, Nov 30, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to the family of the last Israeli hostage still held in Gaza, his office said Saturday, as demonstrators demanded the return of the final two bodies. Ran Gvili, 24, an officer in Israel's Yasam elite police unit, fell in battle on October 7, 2023 during the unprecedented attack led by Hamas on southern Israel. His body was taken to Gaza. On Friday, Netanyahu "informed his parents, Talik and Itzik, about the efforts Israel is making for his return and his determination to bring him for a proper Jewish burial", his office said. Netanyahu also spoke with Thailand's ambassador to Israel, and updated him on the efforts to return the only other slain hostage still held in Gaza, Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak. Israel's government and security forces "are making extensive efforts for his return", the statement said. Rinthalak, 43, worked in plantations at the Beeri kibbutz near the Gaza Strip and was one of several Thai labourers killed in the October 7 attack and whose bodies were taken to Gaza. His death was confirmed by Israel in May 2024. - 'We stand with you' - The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, the main group representing those taken captive to Gaza, held a rally in Tel Aviv's Hostages Square on Saturday -- the latest in a series of weekly gatherings designed to put pressure on Netanyahu's government to ensure all the hostages are returned. Attendees chanted "You are not alone, we stand with you." They held up placards featuring the faces of Gvili and Rinthalak, and signs reading "Day 785; we leave no one behind". "It doesn't matter that only two are left: two is like 70. Each one is equally important," said Michal Yaniv, 72. "For the families it's very important that we keep coming, so they can feel that we're with them. All the time. We won't stop coming because some returned," she told AFP. Yaniv added: "When the hostages return, I will start protesting against the government that brought upon us October 7 -- and they won't acknowledge it. Netanyahu is still not acknowledging that he is responsible." Under the terms of a US-sponsored ceasefire agreement that entered into force between Israel and Hamas on October 10, the Islamist group committed to returning all the 48 hostages it held captive, of whom 20 were alive. It has so far returned 46, including the body of a fallen soldier who was abducted more than a decade ago. At the rally, product manager Noya Ziv, 53, said: "I believe that the fact that we've been coming here consistently throughout these two years contributed a lot to the release of the hostages. "There is hope that it will end soon... We're in the final stretch, and it will come to an end. It has to come," she told AFP.
