If you want to be specific, they make 28.7% (2019) of the world's manufacturing output. So yes, more than a quarter.

Thanks for supporting your comments with sources.

producing most of the world’s goods

China makes the most goods, but most goods are not made by China. They are the top producer, but produce less than 50% of all goods.

That has changed since COVID. They are under a quarter as manufacturing has been moved away from China.

Didn't China's manufacturing output increase by 25% in dollar terms since 2019?

Would dollar terms be relevant metric since the costs went up post COVID? It's total goods manufactured and that dipped.
