China's industrial sector faced deepening challenges as corporate profits contracted by 13.1% year-on-year, a significant acceleration from the previous 5.5% decline. The National Bureau of Statistics reported this second consecutive period of contraction, highlighting ongoing pressures on Chinese businesses. The sharp decline is attributed to weak domestic demand, deflationary pressures, and challenges in economic recovery. This trend raises concerns about the overall health of China's economy and may prompt discussions about potential policy responses to support the sector and stimulate domestic demand.
