China takes all

Article Abstract:

Cement usage between 1992 and 1994 remained constant worldwide but increased in China and ASEAN. Cement is often produced locally because it is environmentally degrading and moving it is difficult and expensive. Local production in China has risen from 308 to 400 mil tonnes, and many predict the rise will continue indefinitely.
