What the source says
Chinese steelmakers shipped a record 131 Mt of steel to foreign markets in 2025, equivalent to around 14% of their annual crude steel production that year, and a 153% surge from 2020.
Checked: the figure 131 million tonnesis stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
