After signs China was curbing aluminum output late last year, the world's biggest producer is gradually increasing output again, raising the risk of fresh tensions with global trading partners from any spike in exports.
The production restarts and new capacity come as local prices and demand rise in Aluminum alloy, and are earlier than some experts expected. Chinese production and exports of semi-finished products hit six-month highs in May, after decade-low prices had caused widespread curtailments in December.
China has been accused by competitors of selling metal into oversupplied global markets below market rates in aluminum.
China denies this and says excess capacity is a global issue, but analysts say tensions could be partly alleviated by selling more finished products such as smartphone cases.
