China has been dumping steel forever. I can remember my uncle, who owned a machine shop, buying their steel 50 years ago
Maybe 30 years ago?
Ten years ago was 2008.
Twenty years ago was 1998.
Thirty years ago was 1988.
Forty years ago was 1978. That was pretty much around when China opened its doors.
I think that is the earliest possibility of him buying from them, though I doubt even then. 1988 would be when they really just STARTED to export to us.
Maybe 30 years ago?
50 years ago? No quite.
Selling below cost for decades ?
LOL - you realize how silly that is
Whoops...yes....30 years ago
