COVID-19 throttles China manufacturing, prompting fears

China's manufacturing has dropped to its lowest level in more than two years, the latest sign its economy may be in trouble.
Activity slowed sharply in April, as Shanghai came under a lockdown as part of the government's zero-COVID-19 policy.
Retail sales are also down and unemployment is at its highest level since May 2020 and analysts are warning the impact will be felt well-beyond China's borders.
