he use of Chinese steel in Beijing-funded Belt and Road projects in Pakistan is raising hackles with local producers who claim cheap imports are pushing the local industry to a breaking point.

This month, the Pakistan Association of Large Steel Producers (PALSP) sent a plaintive plea to Prime Minister Imran Khan seeking a ban on duty-free Chinese steel imports, which the lobby group claimed is no better in quality or other specifications than locally produced steel rebar.
