China’s service sector growth slowed to its weakest pace, reaching a six-month low in December, according to a recent survey compiled by S&P Global.

Meanwhile, the Chinese communist regime’s official data showed that China’s service sector purchasing managers’ index (PMI) remained in contraction in December. Combined with a weak manufacturing PMI, the data indicate that China’s economic growth remains fragile and uneven as the new year begins, analysts told The Epoch Times.
