China is planning to add 2 million tons of steel from the country’s steel mills in the coming years, the country has said.
The move follows an international ban on imports of steel to stop the growth of the country, which was forced to switch from steel to coal and metal in the 1980s after an earthquake and tsunami killed millions.
The steel plants are also likely to get more use as demand increases for steel parts, and China has been ramping up its production of the products in recent years.
China has been investing in steel factories as part of efforts to reduce the impact of the pandemic, which has also killed millions of people in the country.
