China official manufacturing PMI at 50.1 in September, matching consensus 50.1 and up from August's 49.8.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on the 30th that recent remarks by a serving Japanese defense official advocating 'no taboo' discussion of nuclear weapons and nuclear‑powered submarines constitute a serious provocation against the NPT and the post‑war international order and a blatant breach of Japan's stated 'Three Non‑Nuclear Principles'. Guo urged the international community to press Japan to adhere to the 'Three Non‑Nuclear Principles', fully meet its NPT obligations, abandon remilitarization and nuclear ambitions, and respond to international concerns.
