The China Services Purchasing Managers Index, a gauge of service sector activity, rose in March to 54.3 from 52.1 in February, according to a report released today by the National Bureau of Statistics and China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing.
A reading of 50 or higher indicates the activity is expanding.
