Tariff elimination opens Chinese market to Egyptian goods: Chinese news channel

China's CGTN news channel reported on President Xi Jinping's visit to Egypt, highlighting the strengthening economic ties between the two nations. Bilateral trade reached a record $20.79 billion in 2025, with Egypt exporting primarily agricultural products and importing machinery and textiles. China eliminated tariffs on goods from 53 African countries, including Egypt, starting May 1, 2026, leading to a significant surge in Egyptian exports to China, up 199.8% to $840.8 million in the first half of 2026. The policy is prompting Egyptian businesses to adjust strategies, such as a linen factory planning to enter China's luxury home textiles market with higher profit margins.
