"Trade Tensions Rise as China Offers Duty-Free Breaks to 53 African Countries. In a move that could significantly boost trade between China and Africa, Beijing has expanded its duty-free treatment to imports from 53 African countries. The decision comes as a stark contrast to the United States, which has only extended the African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA) for a limited one-year period, leaving African nations uncertain about the future of their trade relationship with the US. As a result, many African countries are now looking to China as a more reliable and long-term trading partner, potentially shifting the balance of power in the region and further exacerbating US-China trade tensions."
