Comparing China's and EU's Trade with Africa (in French)

 Thierry Pairault posted on 1 September 2024 a study titled "L'Union europeenne face a la Chine en Afrique." 

The study provides an overview of China's and the EU's trade relations with Africa from 2000 until the end of 2023.  Since 2000, the EU collectively has been a far larger market for African exports than is the case for China.  While Africa's imports from China are growing more rapidly than those from the EU, the latter remains a larger source of African imports than China.  Distance has much to do with this trade relationship.  

Kenya Cracks Down on Under Invoiced Goods from China

 Kenya's Business Daily published on 20 September 2023 an article titled "Kenya Targets Chinese Imports in New Tax Evasion Crackdown" by Dominic Omondi.

Kenya imports most of its finished goods from China.  The government has concluded that the value of most of these products, especially electronics such as mobile phones and computers, have not been accurately priced, leading to huge tax losses.  The government will begin working with tax authorities to determine the true value of "high-risk imports from China."
