The Study On The International Competition Of Chinese Iron And Steel Industry

As for the peace and development turn to be the main trend of the world, economic competition becomes the main competition among countries in the world. Concretely, economic competition is the competition among industries or enterprises of different countries. Chinese economy comes to be a part of the world economy, the economic connection between Chinese and other countries is close as the result of the economic globalization and international division of labor. The industries and enterprises can develop in the vast world market not just in the domestic market, but at the same time, the competition turns to be fiercer, because the industries and enterprises of our country have to compete with the industries and enterprises of other countries in the world.Iron and steel industry is a foundation industry of economy; it acts as a very important role during the development of our country. By the lasting support and guidance of the government, our iron and steel industry develops quickly, a mature industry system has been built up. Especially, since China embraced the epic reform and opening-up policies in 1978, the iron and steel industry has got great achievement. Our country is the largest iron and steel country of both production and consumption, there are many iron and steel manufacturers with large production capacity. Since the crude steel output exceeded 100 million metric ton in 1996, the steel output of our country has been continuously locked-in primacy place of the world for 12 years until 2007. And our country has taken the place of America to be the largest iron and steel import country in the world. In 2006, the crude steel output of our country was 419 million metric ton, there were more than 1000 types and 40 thousand sizes, and the quality of most types of the products has satisfied the demand of economy development and the defense construction of our country. After the fast development of iron and steel industry of China in these years, what about the international competition of it? Is there any problems and obstacles? How to improve the international competition of iron and steel industry of our country? I would discuss all of these questions in this paper. At the very first, the paper lays out the research achievements of industry competition by experts and researchers among the world, then writes out the theory foundation of this paper, discusses the sources of industry international competition. On the bases of analyzing the development condition of our country, and by other related researches and the features of iron and steel industry, the paper studies the international competition situation of Chinese iron and steel industry by comparing the related indexes of our country with that of other main iron and steel production countries, and get a correct mind to the international competition level of the iron and steel industry of our country. Then on the bases of ' country diamond model and the development of the industry, we find out the existing problems of the industry, finally, the paper lays out some suggestion of improving the international competition of iron and steel industry of our country.
