During the third China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo in 2023, the "China-Africa Trade Index" released by the General Administration of Customs for the first time showed that since 2000, the scale of trade between China and Africa has been rising, trade ties have become closer, trade structure has been bright and trade potential has continued to increase. The Trade Index shows that since 2000, the scale of China-Africa trade has been rising, trade ties have become closer, trade structure has become brighter, and trade potential has continued to increase. China and Africa have witnessed active economic development and increasingly close economic and trade cooperation, and more and more "Made in China" products are entering the African market, promoting local economic and social development and improving people's livelihood.

　　"China-made" infrastructure projects are attracting strong attention. In January 13, 2024 held the 34th African Football Cup of Nations opening ceremony, built by Chinese enterprises in Côte d'Ivoire's economic capital, Abidjan, Cocody Cable-stayed Bridge model shines, won the audience applause. It is understood that the Cocody Bridge is the largest cable-stayed bridge in West Africa, the main bridge is 630 meters long, after the opening of the bridge not only effectively alleviate the traffic congestion in downtown Abidjan, but also significantly enhance the image of the Abidjan cityscape, the bridge has become a landmark building in Abidjan. 2023 August, Côte d'Ivoire's President Ouattara in the completion of the bridge ceremony, said that this high-quality engineering makes the Ivorian people feel proud. In addition, the opening and operation of a number of landmark projects, such as the Monnet Railway in Kenya, the Lower Kaifu Gorge Hydroelectric Power Station in Zambia, and the Lekki Deepwater Port in Nigeria, have made positive contributions to upgrading the level of infrastructure in Africa, accelerating the process of connectivity and integration, and promoting the economy and protecting people's livelihoods.

　　"At the end of 2023, the main line opening ceremony of the Dakar Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system project was held in the Senegalese capital, Dakar, and more than 120 18-meter articulated pure electric buses were developed and produced by Sinotruck Electric Corporation (Sinotruck) for the operation of the project. The vehicles are beautiful in appearance, with Senegal's national flag green, yellow and red interior decoration, large interior space, a total of 55 seats, maximum passenger capacity of 150 people, range of up to 250 kilometers, and has a good corrosion resistance to adapt to the local sandy and humid climate conditions. The use of this batch of vehicles will reduce local carbon emissions, which is of great significance to the development of green public transportation in Dakar.

　　Chinese construction machinery is popular in Africa. In recent years, with the deepening of economic and trade cooperation between China and Africa, domestic high-performance construction machinery and basic equipment enterprises have accelerated overseas. In Egypt, Alamein New City ultra-high complex project, Algeria, East-West Highway, Kenya, Swacker Dam and other "super" behind the steady progress of the project, inseparable from Sany, Zoomlion, Hunan Iron and Steel, and other Chinese construction machinery enterprises to produce excellent product support. Cost-effectiveness and applicability are the outstanding advantages of Chinese construction machinery products in Africa. On the one hand, Chinese machinery is reasonably priced, stable in performance, simple in operation and convenient in maintenance. On the other hand, Chinese construction machinery enterprises provide customized products for Africa's hot weather, complex terrain and special scenes, which improve construction efficiency and win the African market with excellent strength and good reputation.

　　Chinese agricultural machinery is involved in guaranteeing food security in Africa. In Guinea-Bissau, West Africa, rice is the main local food crop, but the local traditional agricultural technology is backward, the level of paddy field management is low, the ability to resist disasters is poor, the rice yield is not very good, and the farmers are not highly motivated to plant. Sino-Georgian agricultural cooperation has changed the local agricultural development situation and improved the efficiency of agricultural mechanization. The Chinese Agricultural Group has introduced and applied more than 280 sets of agricultural machinery such as tractors, rice harvesters, rice direct seeding machines and water pumps, which have significantly improved the quality and efficiency of local agricultural operations. In addition, the Chinese agricultural group also provides free agricultural machinery to local farmers and organizes free teaching on machinery operation and maintenance. Under the guidance and assistance of Chinese experts, the local rice yield has been improved, which to a certain extent has alleviated the problem of local food security.

"Made in China" has made its way into thousands of households in Africa. Chinese private enterprises are actively going to the sea under the "Belt and Road" opportunity, and all kinds of home appliances, electronic products and clothes, shoes and hats are selling well on the African continent. The rise of cross-border e-commerce and webcasting has further broadened sales channels for enterprises, and the continuous improvement of ports and other transportation infrastructures in African countries has strengthened the resilience of the supply chain of Chinese commodities exported to Africa, making it possible for more Chinese manufacturing to better benefit the lives of African people. Chinese individual traders have also come to Africa to look for business opportunities, Dakar city, General Charles de Gaulle Avenue on both sides of the arrangement of several Chinese small commodity stores, they buy goods from Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, with novelty of the style of goods and cheap prices to attract many customers.

　　Under the new situation of increasingly fierce competition, "Made in China" ushered in new opportunities to go out, but also facing new problems and new challenges, to consolidate the existing advantages, China-Africa cooperation model needs to be further innovated, to come out of a more diversified and sustainable new road.

　　First, support African countries to promote the industrialization process. At the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum 2024, a number of scholars in the field of African economy said that, unlike the past, which was satisfied with exporting raw materials, the continent is now seeking to realize commodity-led industrialization. During the 15th BRICS Leaders' Meeting, China released the Initiative on Supporting Africa's Industrialization, expressing its willingness to support the development of manufacturing industry in Africa, strengthening knowledge sharing and technology transfer to Africa, tilting the relevant cooperation resources to support Africa's industrialization projects, jointly promoting the construction of demonstration parks of regional centers with special characteristics, products, and policy guarantees with African countries, and promoting the "Made in China" production lines to be located in Africa. China-made" production lines in Africa, and make good use of high-quality resources and preferential policies, so that China-made products can better take root in Africa and serve the African people.

　　Secondly, we will help African countries strengthen international trade infrastructure construction, especially transportation infrastructure construction such as ports and railroads, which are very important for the smooth supply chain of China-Africa commodities, so as to alleviate the bottleneck problem of the supply chain. At present, African countries generally have imperfect land transportation networks and maritime logistics hubs, making it difficult to meet the growing demand for logistics. Chinese infrastructure enterprises can consider focusing on the new expansion of ports in African coastal countries and highway and railroad projects in African landlocked countries, and enhance their investment and construction efforts in the above fields.

　　Again, we should pay attention to the development trend of clean energy, digital economy and other new industries and modes in Africa. For example, in the field of clean energy, the report "Africa Energy Outlook 2022" issued by the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that Africa is rich in renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy and hydro energy. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) believes that by 2030, Africa can meet nearly a quarter of its energy needs through the use of clean renewable energy. At present, South Africa, Zambia and other African governments are actively developing and utilizing renewable energy, Chinese enterprises should pay attention to the field of investment and business opportunities, drive China's new energy machinery and equipment exports.
