China produces more than half of the world's raw steel, and its steel exports have occasionally heightened political tensions, including a 25% tariff imposed by the U.S. in 2018 on steel imports from China due to national security concerns.
Despite recent turmoil in China's real estate sector, the country has been exporting most of its steel abroad to fill the gap left by weak domestic demand in the property market. According to customs data, exports showed an annual increase of approximately 28% in the first 8 months until August. China's steel has also found its way to regions like Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
