2001年至2003年中国钢产量连续三年高速增长,2003年达到22234万吨,比上年增加4065万吨,增长22.38%;这不仅是我国钢产量连续第8年居世界第一,也使我国成为世界上第一个钢产量突破2亿吨的国家。然而中国铁矿石产量增速远小于钢产量增速,从而不得不大量进口铁矿石以弥补不足。2003 From 2001 to 2003, China’s steel output increased rapidly for three years in a row, reaching 222.34 million tons in 2003, an increase of 40.65 million tons or 22.38% over the previous year.
