China may want to use Yuan instead of US dollars on global commodity market since it is a dominating buyer. By-passing the process of converting Yuan - US dollars - foreign currency will save big amount of FX service charges imposed by US commercial banks, which include FX rates differences and service handling charges. Amount save may be from hundreds of millions to billions of USD.

History of steel production went from manufacturing steel to outsourcing to to cheap labor countries .

Glad China is there for this primary labor intensive industry, rest of the world can source from here.
We got better things to do..:)

Better things like open shit on the streets and commit suicides and gang rapes?

NBS: China’ 2020 crude steel output hits 1.05 billion t
Source:MysteelJan 18, 2021 15:00

Just as expected, China’s crude steel output had exceeded 1 billion tonnes for 2020, approximating 1.05 billion tonnes or up 5.2% on year, according to the latest release by the country’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on January 18.

The on-year growth was 3.1 percentage points lower than that for 2019, as the battle against the COVID-19 for most of the first quarter of 2020 affected the steel output and demand to some extent, Mysteel Global noted.
However, China’s crude steel production had posted on-year gains since April and the pace picked up in the latter months, mainly as the domestic demand recovered substantially since the second quarter of 2020 with the resumption of economic and industrial activities and Beijing’s investments in infrastructures as part of the economic rescue efforts.

For December alone, China produced 91.3 million tonnes of crude steel, up 7.7% on year, and the daily output also recovered 0.7% on month after having retreated on month for October-November, Mysteel Global calculated based on NBS’s data.

For finished steel, the production for the whole 2020 grew more substantially by 7.7% on year to 1.3 billion tonnes, and the December output alone reached 120.3 million tonnes, which jumped 12.8% on year as against the 10.8% on-year growth for November, according to NBS data.

The strong performance in the country’s finished steel output matched the overall enthusiasm among the Chinese steel producers to maintain high finished steel output most of the time last year on the positive steel margins due to the robust demand first at home and then from abroad in the latter half of 2020 on the ease of the impact of the COVID-19, Mysteel Global noted.

Mysteel’s steel pricing assessments backed up the rationale, as China’s national price of HRB 400 20mm dia rebar surged Yuan 696/tonne ($107.3/t) on year to a 25-month high of Yuan 4,579/t on December 22, and that of the Q235 4.75mm hot-rolled coil (HRC) soared by Yuan 1,115/t on year to Yuan 4,994/t on the same day, or a new high since Mysteel started the latter’s assessment in July 2010, both including the 13% VAT.

Robust demand also saw China’s finished steel stocks empty to the pre-pandemic “normal” level by the end of 2020, and stocks of five major finished steel products comprising rebar, wire rod, hot-rolled coil, cold-rolled coil and medium plate at the commercial warehouses in China’s 35 cities, for example, totalled 8.4 million tonnes, or up just 2% on year.

Chin’s steel exports grew on month for the fourth month by December to 4.85 million tonnes, up 10.2% on month or 3.5% higher on year, as reported.

We don't need so much, and we hope to transfer production capacity to India in the future.
And import crude steel from India.

Steel industry in India is a labor intensive one? I don't think it is the case in the rest of the world. It's capital intensive.

China’s crude steel output will probably reach 1.05 billion tonnes for 2020, or having maintained an average growth of 50 million tonnes/year in recent years, and its share in the global steel output will rise to 58% from the 53% for 2019,

Luo Tiejun, vice chairman of China Iron & Steel Association (CISA), shared with delegates of Mysteel Annual Summit on December 19 in Shanghai.

The high steel production this year has been driven by strong demand, he emphasized, sharing that against the 5.5% on-year growth in China’s crude steel output over January-November, the country’s apparent crude steel consumption is estimated to have grown by 9.8% on year to 950 million tonnes in the first 11 months of 2020. “Actually,

Unprecedented steel demand in China pushed steel mills to increase daily crude steel output to a record high of 3.09 million tonnes a day in September 2020, which started tapering in in October 2020 to 2.97 million tonnes a day and 2.92 million tonnes a day in November 2020 as with the onset of winters in North China resulted in output restrictions forcing many steel mills to undertake maintenance. However, as the steel realization is very strong, daily crude steel output in December 2020 is likely to remain above 2.9 million tonnes a day, meaning we could witness China producing record 1.05 billion tonnes of crude steel in 2020, up by about 5% YoY, despite crude steel production shrinking to 79.9 million tonnes in January, 74.77 million tonnes in February and 78.97 million tonnes in March, when COVID19 spread had slowed down activities.

That’s why Xi Jingping invented Silk Road. He wants to dump chinese steel surplus into other countries.

The world has never seen an industrial power like China has become and will become.

Most Silk Road countries would love to have China's infrastructure. Whatever China can do to get them there is welcome.

In 1949, the year the PRC established, China's steel output was 158,000 tons, accounted for 0.1% of the world total steel output. India produced around 1 million tons steel around the same time.
Back then the output of steel was the single most important indicator of a country's overall industrial development level. it shows how far China was behind in the world.
0.1%.... Just incredible to know this figure and compare it to the current production share of 58%. Just to show you the importance of Steel in development in those days..During WWII Germany agreed to provide Iran with an steel Mill (first ever in Iran)...the ship carrying the equipment was confiscated by the British and never returned to Iran...That is how these dominant countries in those days made sure others will not be industrialized....How things have changed..Congratulation to China

That's why I keep saying that the world has never known an industrial power like China. This is why the world has already significantly shifted to the East yet many White men, like Trump, still think its the 1950s. The US was able to maintain dominance not because of "muh democracy" but because it was the world's greatest industrial power, had the most capacity, had the most vibrant economy, etc.

China is now the world's largest industrial power and has by far the greatest capacity, the greatest capability to mobilize resources in case of crisis and has by far the most vibrant economy. The world has massively shifted and this trend will continue.
