China appears to be making more of its own components. The monthly China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing survey showed expectations for imports fell to 49.9 from 50.4 in September, indicating lower import orders ahead.

A cut in the export outlook back into negative territory may simply be the result of South Korean manufacturing issues.
