This new arrangement grants 100% tariff-free treatment to 98.2% of Kenyan exports — a duty-free exemption that applies to 53 African countries that maintain diplomatic ties with China. By paving the way for a duty-free future, China's zero-tariff arrangement aims to improve the trade structure with Africa, encourage local manufacturing, and spur industrial growth. In a recent forum on this issue, CGTN's Talk Africa interviewed Kenya's Principal Secretary at the State Department for Trade, Regina Ombam; the President of the Kenya Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Dr. Erick Rutto; and the Chairman of the Kenya Chinese Chamber of Commerce, William Zhuo. The discussions explored how this unprecedented access to a 1.4 billion-consumer market could transform China-Africa trade and local economies. #worldnow #china #africa 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Tue, 07 Apr 2026 07:18:56 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/eb0732c8-e7ee-41e5-a5cd-90bf33b248a3 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
