<P> In 2011 China was the largest producer of steel in the world producing 45 % of the world 's steel , 683 million tons , an increase of 9 % from 2010 . 6 of 10 of largest steel producers in the world are in China . Profits are low despite continued high demand due to high debt and overproduction of high end products produced with the equipment financed by the high debt . The central government is aware of this problem but there is no easy way to resolve it as local governments strongly support local steel production . Meanwhile , each firm aggressively increases production . Iron ore production kept pace with steel production in the early 1990s but was soon outpaced by imported iron ore and other metals in the early 2000s . Steel production , an estimated 140 million tons in 2000 increased to 419 million tons in 2006 . Much of the country 's steel output comes from a large number of small - scale producing centers , one of the largest being Anshan in Liaoning . </P>
