China's two major steel companies announced restructuring plans last Sunday, but no details were revealed.

我國兩大鋼鐵企業上週日宣佈重組計劃，但並未透露相關細節。

In their separate statements, Wuhan Iron and Steel and the Shanghai-based Baosteel said they were planning for "strategic restructuring" and trading of their shares would be suspended starting 27th.

武漢鋼鐵(集團)公司與寶鋼集團公司在各自發布的聲明中稱，雙方正在籌劃"戰略重組"事宜，公司股票自27日起停牌。
