China Set to Make Own Ballpoint Pen Tips
One of China's major stainless steel （不锈钢） producers has independently developed the special steel needed to make the ballpoint pen tips and plans to mass-produce the material to replace（31）D in two years．
The group has spent five years on research and development to （32）H the technology，ending a long-term Chinese reliance on foreign pen tips．
Without this technology，China's pen manufacturers，which produce 38billion ballpoint pens per year，have had to purchase the（33）K parts from overseas markets，costing the industry $17.3million a year，according to the China National Light Industry Council．
"It will be one of our （34）Aproducts in the long run，and we will try more materials for tips of ballpoint pens to remain competitive，"said Li Jianmin，director of TISCO's research and development center．
Wang Huimian，TISCO's senior engineer，said the company will （35）Fmore financial resources and manpower to develop next-generation ballpoint pen tips in a（n） （36）B friendly way to further compete with rivals in Japan and Switzerland．
"If these real economy-related factors are underdeveloped，its key （37）J won't be strong，"said Wang．
The pen tip issue was first brought into the spotlight by Premier Li Keqiang in January last year，（38）E a major issue facing Chinese manufacturers-weak competitiveness in key technology．
Making such products requires high-precision （39）I and extremely-thin steel plates．Special microelements must be added to liquid steel to make a quality tip that can write continually for at least 800meters．
Eager to enhance its earning ability，the company （40）C that it planned to produce 10.5 million metric tons of steel this year，including 4.5 million stainless steel products．
Zhao Ying，a researcher at the Institute of Industrial Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing，said，"All these elements can be reached only through long-term investment and increasing development，"he said．
