Uploaded: 2026-03-28T15:16:52+08:00
Duration: 1 min 21 s
Description: China will impose zero tariffs on imports from 53 African nations starting May 1. Trade between China and Africa rose 17% year on year to almost $350 billion in 2025. The incoming zero-tariff policy goes beyond facilitating trade — it marks a fundamental shift from resource complementarity to deep industrial synergy. CGTN's Wang Tianyu takes a closer look.
