The power of the China Steel Partner's consortium is already without parallel in today's US steel markets. The aggregate fabricated steel output of China's proven consortium members easily exceeds 20 million tonnes annually and new members are being added monthly. Many of China's towering skyscrapers were built by our consortium members and pride in their achievements is visible and understandable. Our China members have massive fabrication facilities far outstripping size and volume of our traditional domestic suppliers. Size does matter. China possesses vast manpower resources and to deny a global strategy is to deny a progressive and competitive future.
