Bank of Japan Buying Over 100% of Japanese Bond Issuance; Steen Jakobsen...
• http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.comSteen Jakobsen has some interesting comments on China and Japan in his latest email.
Steen discusses China's "official" PMI which is different than the Markit PMI on China that I covered earlier (see Weaker China PMI, Especially New Orders and Exports).
Emphasis in italics mine.

Greetings,
China's official manufacturing PMI report just came out – and it's weaker than projected. The print was 50.8 vs. 51.2 expected. Orders backlog looks especially weak.
