Chinese steel mills have rejected demands by top global miner BHP Billiton Ltd./Plc. that they pay premiums on iron ore purchases on top of a sharp industry-wide price increase for 2005. BHP wanted an extra USD 7.50 to USD 10 a tonne in addition to a 71.5 percent rise in ore prices. China's 16 major companies reached a consensus that 'BHP Billiton's demand goes against international practice', according to the China Iron and Steel Association. China has become the largest iron ore import country in the world, analysts expect that China will imported 250 million tons of iron ore this year. (Photo by China Photos/Getty Images)
