China: China continues to forge cutting-edge steel products.

Storyline China continues to forge cutting-edge steel products From nuclear-grade steel to tin-plated steel sheets, Chinese steel products continue to push the boundaries of R&D this year. Products like this steel that's as thin as a human hair. The company developing it says it's already being used in 5G base stations and in new energy battery tabs. Chinese steelmakers have debuted six core steel products in global markets this year. The president of the country's iron and steel association says China's steel industry is thriving in part because they can adapt products to various needs. Zhao Minge, president, China Iron and Steel Association： "Behind the surge of new steel products in China lies a precise and rapid market response by steelmakers seizing structural demand opportunities. Steel products are accelerating their transition from 'one-size-fits-all' to customized solutions." Data shows that China is nearly 100 percent self-sufficient in producing specialty steel for products including robot motors and submarine pipelines. [Restrictions: No access Chinese mainland]
