A Chinese worker directs a crane to lift a roll of coiled aluminum sheets at an aluminum plant of Shandong Weiqiao Pioneering Group Co., Ltd. in Zouping county, Binzhou city, east China's Shandong province, 2 December 2015.
China's metals industry association and aluminum fabricators will testify at the U.S. International Trade Commission's hearing in Washington on September 29, according to an industry official. The China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association (CNIA) and some aluminum fabricators will testify for the industry which has been blamed to have damaged U.S. producers and threatened jobs by massive aluminum product exports, the official said, declining to be named as he's not authorized to speak to media. Upstream smelters and downstream extruders in the United States have both argued that subsidized Chinese aluminum production has depressed global prices and presented unfair competition.Dong naide—Imaginechina/AP
