In Summary








    China is increasingly playing a key role in helping African countries navigate the challenges posed by rising U.S. tariffs.

    By offering zero-tariff access to 53 African nations, China is boosting exports across multiple sectors, including farming, manufacturing, and technology.

    Countries like Cameroon and Ghana view China as a strategic economic partner, while Nigeria anticipates gains in various industries.

    Ethiopia is targeting coffee exports to China, Japan, and Saudi Arabia, and overall, China-Africa cooperation is seen as inclusive and coherent.

    These efforts enhance Africa’s competitiveness, provide global market access, and help offset economic uncertainties caused by U.S. tariffs.
