2 Global producers said they will continue to invest in China for the country's urbanization and industrialization in need of iron ore. Fortescue Metals Group Ltd, Australia's third- biggest iron ore producer, will invest $10 billion to meet the growing demand mainly from China, said the company's CEO Neville Power during the Boao Forum for Asia Conference held in South China's Hainan province.

3 He said FMG will have 155 million metric tons of production capacity by the end of 2013 and up to 90 percent of the output will supply the Chinese market. During the Forum, Sam Walsh, CEO of the world's third-largest miner Rio Tinto, said that China's "enormous" economic base will create significant demand and Rio Tinto will continue to invest in China. At present, a third of Rio Tinto’s revenue is from the Chinese market.

4 Valin Group Co in Hunan province, one of China's large steel companies, has become a major shareholder of FMG. "The global iron ore market is monopolized by giant producers and FMG is working on breaking the monopoly by providing more choices of high-quality iron ore to Chinese customers," said Liu Xiaodong, marketing director of the company.

During the Boao Forum, President Xi Jinping emphasized that China will continue to pursue the basic state policy of opening-up, conduct extensive international cooperation, steadily improve its investment environment, open its market, and endeavor to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results with the whole world.
