China: Latest news, Africa ties, economy and business updates
China shapes headlines worldwide and it has a direct impact across Africa — from new ports and power projects to shifting trade deals. On this tag page we pull together all stories about China that matter to African readers: deals, diplomacy, investments, policy moves and tech trends that touch the continent.
Expect quick updates when big events happen and short explainers that unpack why a Beijing decision matters for Nairobi, Lagos or Cape Town. You’ll find reporting on trade numbers, loan deals, Belt and Road projects, diplomatic visits, and the ripple effects on jobs, prices and local businesses.
What you’ll find under this tag
Politics and diplomacy — coverage of state visits, summit outcomes and how Chinese foreign policy affects bilateral ties. We focus on clear facts: who signed what, who benefits, and what critics and supporters say. Economy and trade — reports on imports, exports, tariffs and investment flows. We translate big figures into practical takeaways: which industries win, which face competition, and what new contracts mean for local economies.
Infrastructure and projects — from railways to ports, we track progress, costs and controversies. If a new power plant or highway is being built with Chinese backing, you’ll get timelines, funding details and local reactions. Business and tech — stories on Chinese companies operating in Africa, tech transfers, mobile telecom deals, and how new technology changes markets and jobs.
Human impact and policy — we don’t stop at headlines. Look for pieces that show how deals affect everyday people: jobs created or lost, environmental concerns, and how governments manage debt and regulation. We aim to explain the trade-offs so you can judge for yourself.
