China will implement zero-tariff measures for 53 African countries with which it has diplomatic relations, starting May 1, 2026, according to a statement.

China will continue negotiating and signing joint economic partnership agreements, and further expand market access for African exports through upgraded mechanisms such as the "green channel," said the statement.
