	<title>Zero tariffs could rewrite Africa-China trade. Who stands to win?</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/zero-tariffs-could-rewrite-africa-china-trade-who-stands-to-win-742652a</link>

Early shipments from South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Nigeria are already benefiting from lower duties, turning policy into tangible savings. But the bigger prize may extend far beyond cheaper access to the Chinese market.</description>

	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/local-manufacturing-showcased-at-electra-mining-africa-075095a</link>
