A recent White House report highlights Morocco as a significant “African hub” attracting Chinese efforts to circumvent tariffs. The report, from the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, specifically names Moroccan ports among strategic global locations used to facilitate trade flows linked to China. These ports are strategically positioned near free trade zones, enabling easier movement of goods. The study suggests China is leveraging these routes to avoid customs duties. Kenya was also identified alongside Morocco in this grouping. This finding indicates a shift in Chinese trade strategies and Morocco’s increasing importance in global trade networks. The full report details how these arrangements are being utilized for trade facilitation.
