Article Summary
According to JP Morgan Chase, increased shipments of Chinese steel over the past two years has generated a wave of protectionism from countries around the globe. Decreasing domestic demand and slower economic growth have resulted in a large increase in steel exports from China, driving down global prices. The almost doubling of Chinese steel exports since 2013 has steel mills in areas ranging from South Africa to Europe to India to the United States pushing their governments for protectionist measures against the Chinese-produced steel.
