China Steel Puke Continues

For Chinese Economy, Strengths Are Now Weaknesses
With scant demand at home, the remaining mills have looked beyond their borders for business. China shipped a record 100 million metric tons of steel overseas in the 12 months ended in February, a 55 percent increase from the previous year.

“I’m sure they are happy that at least somebody is buying it, but I don’t think that this is a strategy that Beijing wants to follow,” said Louis Kuijs, the chief economist for greater China at the Royal Bank of Scotland.

The country’s traditional drivers of growth — manufacturing, real estate and local government infrastructure spending — are now among the biggest threats to China’s economy.
Imagine what else China might puke, and you'll have a good short candidate.
