For my business, Chinese steel is so subsidized that they can take Chilean and Australian ores, convert them to steel and ship it over an ocean and halfway across America cheaper than an American nonunion mill can remelt scrap two states away.

At some point they will have destroyed this American industry.

This is sad but true. The Sparrows Point mill in Baltimore MD was a first class facility but finished Japanese steel could be delivered there cheaper than the mill could make it. I think that we are still the best at specialty steel though.
