China has promised to eliminate tariffs on imports from every African country except Eswatini

Have you ever heard of Eswatini (former official name Swaziland in southern Africa, population about 1.3 million)?

The Scramble for Africa continues!

Will Eswatini cave in to Chinese pressure?

"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.” ..."
