BEIJING (Reuters) -- China's factory activity expanded modestly for a second straight month in November, an official survey released on Saturday shows, adding to a string of recent data suggesting a blitz of stimulus is finally trickling through the world's second-largest economy.
The National Bureau of Statistics purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 50.3 -- a seven-month high -- from 50.1 in October, above the 50-mark separating growth from contraction and beating a median forecast of 50.2 in a Reuters poll.
