Do you know when China became the world's largest steel producer? How much is China's steel output in one year now? What is the proportion of the world? What kind of steel can China produce? Where are these steels used? These questions may be answered at the "great history and brilliant achievements - a large achievement exhibition celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's Republic of China" held by the Beijing exhibition hall.
Data shows that in 1949, China's steel production was only 158000 tons. In 1996, China's steel output exceeded 100 million tons. In 47 years alone, China became the world's largest steel producer, realizing the dream of generations of Chinese people. In 2018, China's steel production reached 928 million tons, accounting for more than 50% of the world's steel production, which surged 5873 times compared with 1949, completely ending the history of China's steel shortage.
In the past 70 years, China's economic and social development has made remarkable achievements. The iron and steel industry has grown in line with the development of the national economy. It not only provides an important basic raw material guarantee for the development of the national economy, but also benefits from the huge opportunities brought by the rapid development of the national economy.
