China Issues Guidance on FTA With Mauritius

China issued guidance on its free trade deal with Mauritius (see 2012180017), which took effect Jan. 1 and is expected to eliminate tariffs on more than 90% of goods traded between the two countries, China said. The agreement will “play an active role” in improving cooperation between China and Africa, and Chinese companies will “gain more advantages” when entering the African market, according to an unofficial translation of the guidance.
