Anshan, or An-shan, City (pop., 2003 est.: 1,286,513), Liaoning province, northeastern China. Established as a post station in 1387, it was fortified in 1587 as part of the defenses set up by the Ming dynasty against the rising power of the Manchus. It was destroyed by fire during the Boxer Rebellion and badly damaged during the Russo-Japanese War (1904–05). In the 1930s the Japanese occupied Anshan and made it a steelmaking centre. The city was bombed by U.S. aircraft during World War II and looted by the Soviets following the war. The Chinese later redeveloped it into an industrial centre that produces steel, cement, and chemicals.
