BEIJING, CHINA - MAY 23: A woman from Angola puts on make-up as she tends to the country's display at Africa Day 2026 on May 23, 2026 in Beijing, China. The event was held to mark the 70th anniversary of China-Africa diplomatic ties and the China-Africa Year. China is Africa's largest trading partner, with bilateral trade surpassing 250 billion USD. The ties have expanded beyond traditional infrastructure investments into technology, agriculture, and manufacturing. This includes a landmark unilateral zero-tariff policy covering 53 African nations, which is dramatically reshaping trade terms on the continent. (Photo by Kevin Frayer/Getty Images)
