China's presence in Africa is being marked in various ways, including the celebration of 70 years of diplomatic ties and the promotion of mutual learning between civilizations. Chinese businesses, particularly automakers, are also gaining traction in Africa, with some countries, such as Egypt, receiving tariff exemptions on their exports to China. Additionally, China's military and trade influence in Africa appears to be expanding, with its fighter jets reportedly outperforming European counterparts in air combat drills.
