TOKYO : Japan's trade and industry ministry will consider taking action on imports of Chinese steel if any unfair practices are identified under World Trade Organization rules, a ministry official said on Thursday.
The official also said that Japan will continue to urge the U.S. government to exempt it from steel and aluminum tariffs.
