Urging the Government of the People’s Republic of China to take certain

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. RYAN of Ohio (for himself and Mr. MANZULLO) submitted the following 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on International Relations 
RESOLUTION 
Urging the Government of the People’s Republic of China 
to take certain actions regarding exports of coke. 
Whereas coking coal, which is derived from metallurgical 
coal, is used almost exclusively in blast furnaces by inte-
grated steel mills; 
Whereas an antidumping case against the People’s Republic 
of China and Japan relating to imports of coke from 
those countries, that was brought in 2001 by domestic 
furnace coke producers in the United States, is still being 
considered (after a ruling that there was no domestic 
harm); 
Whereas China accounts for 80 percent of the world coke 
trade;
•HRES 697 IH 
Whereas coke exports from China have flattened (and pos-
sibly fallen) as China’s steel production has surged; and 
Whereas the increase in demand for steel in China may have 
arisen from the subsidization by the Chinese Government 
of metals-consuming industries: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the Government of the People’s Re-
public of China, given the global shortage of coke, 
should— 
(1) take the necessary steps to ensure that Chi-
nese companies that export coke are not charging 
any form of export license fees for such exports; 
(2) remove any limitation on the quantity of 
coke that may be exported from the People’s Repub-
lic of China; 
(3) allow more companies to export coke from 
the People’s Republic of China in order to promote 
fair market pricing of that product; and 
(4) take the necessary steps to provide export 
licenses for coke without cost or delay.
