It seems that the growth of crude steel production in China has been unstoppable over the past several years. Neithercapacity cutting initiatives, nor seasonal environmental regulations could prevent new steelmaking records. Chinesesteel market participants are sure that the 2018?2019 heating season (October 1 – March 31) will hardly impact muchon the country’s steel production volumes.
