In ANSI C,const values are global?

I read from a C++ book that In ANSI C, const values are global? but if i declare a const variable in main() then it will be locally scoped then how we can say that const are global?

There is no global lexical scope in C but there is a file scope. The const qualification of an object does not affect its scope. 

#include <stdio.h>

int a = 0;         // file scope
const int b = 0;   // file scope

int main(void)
{
    int x;        // block scope
    const int y;  // block scope
}
