British trade unions asked 10 questions to President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping

1. When will China stop hiding the real production data for steel?

2. How much is the Chinese steel industry operating at a loss?

3. Is the destruction of the industry in Europe the main goal of China, because of what it increases its exports?

4. How much does the Chinese government spend on subsidizing its steel producers?

5. Why would China invest in UK infrastructure if Chinese steelmakers are not involved?

6. How can you confirm the figure voiced by the chief communist of China at a press conference in Downing Street regarding the decline in China's steelmaking capacity?

7. What is the average CO2 emissions per tonne of steel for Chinese steelmakers and when will the Chinese government release a steelmaking emissions report as a member of the World Steel Association?

8. The UK imported 254,000 tonnes of Chinese rebar in 2014, up from zero in 2012; never before had Chinese rebar been sold in the EU, as the cost of transportation tended to make it uncompetitive - how has that changed?

9. Some UK steel producers and consumers have expressed serious concern about Chinese steelmakers deliberately adding alloying elements such as boron and chromium to their rebar in order to receive a 9-13 percent tax rebate. At the same time, the addition of boron to the alloy has no positive advantages for reinforcing steel. Boron can cause serious welding failure and has been noted in ongoing construction projects. Is respected Xi aware of the prosperity of this practice and what China is doing to stop it?

10. What is the Chinese government's view on concerns that the UK construction industry is losing quality in its products?
