China says zero-tariff treatment to Africa a 'golden key' to trade prosperity

China will expand zero-tariff treatment to all African countries that have diplomatic relations with Beijing starting May 1, 2026. The move is being hailed as a "golden key" to trade prosperity and industrial growth. On Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian said that the policy will bring more high-quality African products to Chinese households while creating opportunities for Chinese investment and industrial upgrades in Africa. The initiative reflects China's commitment to high-level openness and its principles of sincerity to Africa, in a counter to global protectionism and fostering stability.
