Trade Disputes

U.S. producers of aluminum extrusions claim that their Chinese competition has illegally gained a price advantage because of China’s undervalued currency, causing imports to increase dramatically, resulting in job loss in the domestic industry.

Despite its lack of a competitive advantage in paper production and natural resources to make paper, China has surpassed the U.S. to become the world’s leader in that department in just under a decade, according to a an EPI report released earlier this month.
