It did not export its system anywhere else. It succeeded beyond US expectations and the US is jealous to the point of rage.

China has decided to implement zero-tariff treatment for imports from 53 African countries, a move that comes amid lingering uncertainty over the renewal of the United States’ African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) and continued trade tensions between African nations and the European Union over Economic Partnership Agreements.

Until now, duty-free access had applied only to selected African countries. Beijing had granted zero-tariff treatment on 97% to 98% of tariff lines for 33 African least developed countries (LDCs), before expanding that coverage in 2024 to include all products originating from African LDCs.

The new measure broadens the regime to nearly the entire continent, extending duty-free access to all African countries except Eswatini, which maintains diplomatic ties with Taiwan.
