CLAIM Veröffentlicht von will • May 01, 2026
While the zero-tariff regime seems beneficial at first glance, it may deepen dependency on China and create an uneven playing field. African nations must ensure that they do not lose out on local industries and that this increased trade does not come at the expense of their own economic sovereignty.
