Chinese products end Western monopoly

China's special steel enterprises have successfully developed an array of high-tech and high value-added products to break the dominance of established rivals including those in France, the United States and Japan.

For example, the 300M steel, which was developed and produced by Shanghai-based Baosteel Special Metals Co Ltd or BSMC, has been used in the production of the landing gear of the C919, China's first homegrown large passenger jet, according to the company.

BSMC got the qualification certificate in 2016 as the material supplier of Shanghai-based Commercial Aircraft Corp of China Ltd or COMAC, the manufacturer of the C919.
