“Beijing’s scrapping of tariffs for all but one African country will start May 1, Chinese President Xi Jinping said Saturday, according to state media.

China already has a zero-tariff policy for imports from 33 African countries, but Beijing said last year it would extend the policy to all 53 of its diplomatic partners on the continent…

From May 1, zero levies will apply to all African countries except Eswatini, which maintains diplomatic relations with Taiwan.”
