U.S. Manufacturing Dogfights: China's Steel and Foreign Aircraft Competition

ISBN: 9781621006725 出版年：2012 页码：94 Jeffrey A Ball Nova Science

The majority of Chinese steel has been used to meet domestic demand in China. However, as its steel production continues to grow, overcapacity is becoming a major concern to Chinese industrial policy makers, as well as steelmakers outside China. Although industry statistics indicate that the Chinese steel industry is not export-oriented, its consistently high output keeps U.S. steelmakers concerned that excess Chinese steel might overwhelm the global market once domestic demand is adequately met. These concerns become increasingly acute as the United States and the rest of the world are in the middle of a slow recovery from the economic recession started in December 2007. This book provides an overview of China's steel industry and discusses the issues and implications with regard to the U.S. steel sector.
