### Comment:
[Chinese steel is not even in the top 10 sources of steel imports.](https://www.trade.gov/steel/countries/pdfs/imports-us.pdf) (PDF warning). India, at #10, accounts for 2%. That means China accounts for less.

### REPLY:
Excellent point. 
  
 [Same source, different document](https://www.trade.gov/steel/countries/pdfs/exports-china.pdf). The US is the world’s largest consumer of steel. The US has the largest number of “trade remedies” against Chinese steel of any country China does business with. China’s primary customer is South Korea. South Korea is the US’ #3 supplier.  
  
 How much steel is being funneled through South Korea to avoid those restrictions, I wonder?
