China’s industrial production surprised Saturday with its best showing since June, the latest indication that government stimulus measures may be driving a mild recovery in the world’s second largest economy. Output at factories, workshops and mines increased 6.2 percent last month from a year ago, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said, the first increase since August and a significant jump from October’s figure of 5.6 percent. The figures, which came on robust production of automobiles, synthetic fibres and non-ferrous metals, were higher than the 5.7 percent increase forecasted by economists in a survey.
