Because the US applying tariffs has removed avenues for Chinese steel entering the US. That steel can be diverted to other markets (for example, Europe or Canada) and thus flood those markets as well, crashing the price there.
There is no mystery here. Europe did the same thing when the US applied their tariffs. They know the flow is going to go somewhere, and they don't want it to be dumped on their markets either.
