New EA paper for the G7 exposes how Chinese subsidies undermine global aluminium markets
A new one-pager developed for the 2025 G7 highlights how massive Chinese state subsidies continue to distort the global aluminium market, placing European and global producers at a serious disadvantage. Drawing on OECD data, the paper reveals how non-market practices fuel overcapacity, disrupt fair competition, and increase carbon emissions. The document calls on G7 governments to strengthen trade enforcement, remove barriers to clean production, and boost recycling to ensure a level playing field and safeguard strategic industries.
