过高的进口依存度以及与进口大国不相称的价格话语权缺失窘境,严重危及中国钢铁行业的健康发展。2010年,由于国内节能减排力度加大,粗钢产量增长受限,中国铁矿砂进口量出现1999年以来的首次同比减少,共进口6.2亿吨,同比减少1.5%。此前,自1999至2009年中国铁矿砂进口量连续11年保持增长。2002年铁矿砂进口量首次超过1亿吨,2003年中国超过日本 The excessive import dependence and the lack of voice in the price disproportionate to that of the major importing countries have seriously jeopardized the healthy development of China’s steel industry. In 2010, China’s iron ore imports dropped for the first time in a year-on-year decrease since 1999, a total of 620 million tons, a decrease of 1.5% over the same period of previous year, as domestic energy-saving emission reduction efforts intensified and crude steel output growth was limited. Previously, China’s iron ore imports increased for 11 consecutive years from 1999 to 2009. Iron ore imports exceeded 100 million tons for the first time in 2002, surpassing Japan in 2003
