Steel Mills in China

An article from September 27 states that there are eight 10-million ton iron and steel plants, seventeen 5-million ton plants and more than thirty 3-million-ton plants in China.

As a point of reference, in 1999, the United States had two 10-million ton iron and steel companies and five 5-million ton companies (most having multiple production plants), while Canada had two 3-million ton companies.
