China
This is the headline to an article on the over-capacity of China's automotive industry:
Китай рулит на выход
First paragraph:
В китайском автомобилестроении наступает переломный момент. Темпы роста продаж значительно снизились, а инвестиционные планы компаний выглядят все более амбициозными. В некоторых сегментах становится тесновато, и многие игроки всерьез берутся за освоение зарубежных рынков и производственных площадок.
I think the "рулит" probably be needs to be omitted in English, since I can't figure out a way to get "steering" into anything that makes sense in EN. Perhaps:
"China looks for a way out"?
Thanks!

steers for new markets (for this context)
Maybe it's worth spelling out more than what's in the original, since anything like "heads for the exit", "steers for a breakout" either obscures the meaning or sounds too violent.

Comment: "Thanks! I also liked Amy's idea, but it's good to get the "steering" in there, and the off-ramp is admittedly a bit confusing (like the original)."

: I think the meaning of the article is not that Chinese car manufacturers want to 'get off', as implied by your answer, but rather that they are trying to 'get out' (into the foreign markets).

China steers to globalize
Just another attempt to make it sound like a headline. The main meaning I think is that China auto industry wants to expand outside the country, to conquer global markets.
