From Scunthorpe to Tangshan, workers steeled for decline

In the gritty northeast English town of Scunthorpe, 25-year-old steel worker Matt Cooke fears for his job, and the future of his industry.

Cooke works for Tata Steel, Britain's biggest steelmaker, which blames planned job cuts - 900 of them in Scunthorpe - on cheap Chinese imports, a strong pound and high electricity costs.

Some 5,000 miles (8,050 km) away in Tangshan, China, steel worker Suo Jiangjun, 35, also contemplates the future of an industry blighted by huge over-capacity and sliding demand.
