While global attention fixates on the Strait of Hormuz crisis, China has executed a significant trade maneuver. Beijing announced zero tariffs on products from all 53 African countries maintaining diplomatic ties with it. This bold policy removes trade barriers, aiming to boost African exports and deepen economic integration with the continent.

The move could reshape global supply chains and strengthen Beijing’s foothold in Africa for decades.
