南非与中国的贸易今年以来大幅增长，自北京于5月推出针对符合条件的非洲出口产品零关税计划以来。
South Africa's trade with China has surged this year since Beijing introduced a zero-tariff scheme for qualifying African exports in May.
中国驻南非大使吴鹏在比勒陀利亚举行的一次活动上表示，5月至8月期间，南非对华出口同比增长近25%，而南非自中国进口增长23%。南非一直在寻求重新平衡与其最大贸易伙伴中国的贸易关系。贸易部长帕克斯·陶（Parks Tau）表示，2025年，南非向中国出口了约2220亿兰特（约合135亿美元）的商品，进口额则接近这一数字的两倍。南非对华出口包括农产品、矿产和制成品。彭大使表示，他已听到南非要求平衡贸易的呼声，并有信心“未来将有越来越多的南非高附加值产品进入中国市场”。
Chinese ambassador Wu Peng said at an event in Pretoria that South Africa's exports were up nearly 25% year-on-year between May and August, while South Africa's imports from China were up 23% South Africa has been seeking to rebalance its trade with China, its largest trading partner. In 2025, South Africa exported about 222 billion rand ($13.5 billion) of goods to China, and imported nearly twice that much, said Trade Minister Parks Tau South Africa's exports to China include agricultural products as well as minerals and manufactured goods Ambassador Peng said he had heard South Africa's demand to balance its trade and that he was confident "more and more South African high value-added products will enter the Chinese market in the future"
增加对华出口是南非开拓新市场战略的一部分，因为南非面临与美国关系恶化以及潜在贸易壁垒的局面。美国已将免关税的《非洲增长与机会法案》（AGOA）延长至2028年。但南非面临被排除在外的风险，因为唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府对南非的若干国内和外交政策表示不满，并指责该国政府迫害白人，南非政府予以否认。贸易部长陶表示，他预计11月初将会有关于南非是否会被剔除出AGOA的宣布，但他仍保持“谨慎乐观”。
Increasing exports to China is part of South Africa's strategy to develop new markets as it faces a worsening relationship and potential trade barriers with the US The US has extended the duty-free African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) until 2028. But South Africa risks exclusion as President Donald Trump's administration has taken issue with a number of its domestic and foreign policies and accused the government of persecuting white people, which it denies Trade Minister Tau said he expects an announcement in early November about whether South Africa will be cut out of AGOA, but that he remained "cautiously optimistic"
