BEIJING (Reuters) - China's non-manufacturing activity expanded at a slower pace in April, an official survey showed on Tuesday, likely due to disruption caused to construction and services businesses by adverse weather in the southern region.

The official non-manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI), which includes services and construction, fell to 51.2 from 53.0 in March, showed data from the National Bureau of Statistics.
