The Eurasian Economic Union – the Russia-centric equivalent to the European Union – has launched an antidumping investigation of Chinese aluminum wheel exports. The case is unusual in being the first the EAEU has launched against China since its inception in 2015. The case is probably too small to start a broader trade spat. It covers just $193 million of Chinese exports covered in 2017 after a rise of 14% on a year earlier in the fourth quarter.
