Asian Metal: Will the large amount of vanadium products that enter Chinese market have a negative impact on the Chinese vanadium market?
Mr. Zhang: COVID-19 has led to a sharp reduction in the use of vanadium products in the international market, so international vanadium suppliers have become more dependent on the Chinese consumer market. It will be an inevitable trend to continuously export vanadium products to China for a long period of time. Even after COVID-19, China will probably remain a net importer of vanadium products for a long time. From the view of the current import volume of various vanadium products, it's far from the negative impact because China's vanadium demand potential is huge. China's vanadium demand in rebar is the main tone of market development, Chinese vanadium market is in the rapid growth period now. Although in the short term, the increase of vanadium import volume will have a negative impact, I believe that with the economic recovery in and outside China, the demand for vanadium will return to normal, and in the long term, there will be no negative impact.
