Wang Hejun, Director of the Ministry of Commerce’s Trade Remedy and Investigation Bureau, has urged U.S. authorities to abide by World Trade Organization (WTO) rules in the ongoing anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation on Chinese aluminum foil. The U.S. Department of Commerce launched an investigation after the Aluminum Association’s Trade Enforcement Working Group accused Chinese aluminum foil producers of using improper subsidies and selling at unfair prices. The Chinese and U.S. aluminum industries are highly complementary. The United States started to reduce production of low value-added aluminum foil and focus on high-end products over 20 years ago, therefore, the falling output is not a result of Chinese imports, MOFCOM said. China hopes the two sides could solve common concerns through consultation and dialogue to seek the mutual development of the aluminum sector, Wang said.
