SHANGHAI, Jun. 24 (SMM) – China’s alumina imports plunged 90.4% to 313,000 tonnes in May due to waning demand, Shanghai Metals Market learned.    Chinese aluminum smelters preferred domestic alumina due to lower prices, curbing appetite for imports, SMM understood.    The imports soared by 56.28% year-on-year, though, and year-to-date imports through May totaled 2.08 million tonnes, up 53.4% year-on-year.
