The site for the complex will be the southern port of Kaohsiung into which...
...advocates of the plan pointed out that demand should double in a decade. More important, they predicted that steel production could trigger a new era of industrial growth. So far, Taiwan's businessmen have concentrated on light manufacturing items such as electronic components and consumer goods; a steel plant could produce a heavy-machinery industry and give further impetus to the country's infant shipbuilding efforts...
