Based on what I know about the changes and resources that helped the United States' industries to grow I would expect China's resources to increase as the years go by. Chinese industries are discovering new sources of raw materials to use, and Chinese cities are growing quickly. Natural resources are becoming more available.Between 1900 and 2006, total world steel production increased, and steel is becoming more useful as a building resource. Cities are becoming centers of manufacturing. In 2006, the United States produced more steel than it did in 1900, but China was the world's leading steel producer in 2006. In 1900, Europe had more steel-producing countries than other continents, but In 2006, the world's leading steel producers were located in Asia.
