Zero-tariff policies, systemic support help African countries expand exports, upgrade industry_我的网站
A | 7月21日消息，日前有消息称美团偷偷上线了“按骑手学历收费”的增值服务，美团回应系谣言，这事引起网友热议。

Effective May 1, China extended the favorable policy to 53 African countries. Two African diplomats stationed in China have shared with the Global Times about the benefits of China's policy, particularly in trade of coffee, as well as China's exemplary role in promoting cooperation among Global South countries.
Aziza Geleta, Deputy Head of Mission of the Ethiopian Embassy in China Photo: Courtesy of the Ethiopian Embassy in China Aziza Geleta, Deputy Head of Mission of the Ethiopian Embassy in China, told the Global Times that the trade policy demonstrates China's commitment to strengthening mutually beneficial economic cooperation with Africa.
For Ethiopia, which is believed to be the birthplace of coffee, this initiative presents significant opportunities.
"Coffee is not only our leading agricultural export but also an integral part of our cultural heritage. For centuries, Ethiopians have preserved a unique coffee tradition, where families and neighbors gather to prepare and share coffee in a ceremony that symbolizes hospitality and friendship in community," Geleta said.
With improved market access, Ethiopian coffee exports to China are expected to grow substantially. China has become one of the world's fastest-growing coffee consumption markets and is now Ethiopia's third-largest coffee export destination, Geleta noted.
In 2025, China's coffee industry was valued at 354.9 billion yuan ($52.63 billion), up 13.3 percent year on year. Annual per capita consumption rose from 22.24 cups to 28.57 cups, while the value of coffee bean imports increased by 73.9 percent year on year, according to the 2026 China Urban Coffee Development Report released in July.
The Ethiopian diplomat believes China's zero-tariff policy will enhance the competitiveness of Ethiopian coffee, increase export earnings, and encourage greater investment across the coffee value chain, including processing, packaging, branding, logistics and quality certification.
Since July 20 this year, China has granted full market access to coffee beans meeting quarantine requirements from all African countries that have diplomatic ties with China. The full market access is regarded as a landmark achievement in China-Africa cooperation on agricultural market access.
Geleta said that Ethiopia warmly welcomes this landmark policy. Having joined China's zero-tariff arrangement in 2024, the East African country has already witnessed its positive impact on bilateral trade and economic cooperation.
"The policy goes beyond tariff preferences. It demonstrates a practical commitment to South-South cooperation based on mutual respect, shared development and win-win partnership," Geleta noted.
It creates new opportunities for African countries to diversify exports, strengthen productive capacity and participate more actively in global value chains, the diplomat said.
As members of the Global South, Ethiopia and China share a common vision of promoting inclusive and sustainable development. This zero-tariff initiative establishes a valuable benchmark for building agricultural trade rules that better reflect the development needs of emerging economies, she noted.
It also complements the objectives of the FOCAC and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) by supporting greater regional integration and international market access, said Geleta. AfCFTA is a flagship initiative of the African Union designed to transform the continent into the world's largest free-trade area, per the AU.
From Geleta's observation, the market access granted by China is not merely a trade policy, but also a practical example of development cooperation that benefits ordinary people.
Coffee farming sustains millions of Ethiopian households, so greater access to China's market bears direct significance for poverty alleviation, rural advancement and national economic transformation. The policies foster steady demand for Ethiopian coffee, increasing farmer's earnings and bolstering rural community resilience, she said. Such gains closely echo the China-proposed Global Development Initiative, which emphasizes poverty reduction, food security, inclusive growth and sustainable development.
The diplomat said Ethiopia welcomes Chinese investment in agricultural processing, cold-chain logistics, food manufacturing and value-added industries in Ethiopia. Such investment will support industrialization, technology transfer and job creation while strengthening resilient supply chains, Geleta added.
Ambassador of Lesotho to China Mapaballo Lydia Mile Photo: Courtesy of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Lesotho in China Ambassador of Lesotho to China Mapaballo Lydia Mile told the Global Times that the zero-tariff policy since May is "a direct, tangible deliverable of the commitments made under the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) framework. It transitions the rhetoric of 'win-win cooperation' into practical policy."
Mile said the policy provides a structured, phased approach to reducing trade difficulties and securing institutional guarantees. "It perfectly embodies the strong, historical foundations built through FOCAC over the years to forge a modernized, forward-looking economic future."
Amid comments saying that African countries still face challenges beyond tariffs, including logistics, standards and market-access capacity, Ambassador Mile of Lesotho said that tariff reduction is a necessary condition for trade expansion; however, more conditions are required to reach deals.
Take Lesotho, a landlocked country, for instance. The country faces acute logistical hurdles and high transport costs. Complying with sanitary and phytosanitary measures, as well as quality standards remains a massive challenge for many enterprises in Lesotho.
To fully benefit from the favorable tariff policy, Mile pointed to systemic technical support for African exporters, targeted investments in agro-processing, and enhanced trade facilitation.
"Initiatives recently introduced by China Customs, such as the 'Green Channel 2.0' for agricultural products and expanding authorized economic operator mutual recognition capacity building, are exactly the types of institutional support needed to overcome the non-tariff barriers," she elaborated.

实话说，小雷刚瞟到的时候第一反应是现在点外卖都卷到这份上了？
这张传得有鼻子有眼的截图，配送选项直接给你拆成了四档：
标准配送3元、本科专送8元、硕士优送15元，甚至还有博士尊享88元。
图源：微博
最绝的是截图底下还煞有介事地加了一行灰色小字标注：学历服务费为平台增值服务费，学历成本已由骑手本人承担。
这格式乍一看还真像那么回事，不知道的还以为美团在搞灰度测试，专门给上班族整了个高知骑手配送服务。
小雷哔哔（ID：xiaoleibbb）当时差点就信了。现在互联网平台搞增值服务的套路实在太多了，买视频会员有超前点播，点奶茶有准时宝、放心吃，多出来一项学历服务费，好像也不是完全没可能。

但没等我打开美团去验证，评论区就已经有不少网友出来打假了。
经常点外卖的网友一眼就看出来，这截图根本就是P的玩梗图，连美团真实的订单结算界面都不是。
说白了，就是网友整活P图，结果传着传着没看过原图的人就当真了，越传越邪乎，最后变成了谣言。
事情发酵得越来越快，美团客服进行了回应。
大概意思就是说，平台从来就没有上线过任何按骑手学历划分收费标准的配送增值服务，现在外卖配送服务的收费标准只和四个因素挂钩：配送距离、天气情况、订单时段、实时运力情况。
图源：微博
同时客服也补充，目前平台上和骑手相关的用户功能只有两个，一个是用户如果不想再接某个骑手的订单，可以选择拉黑对方；另一个是用户觉得骑手服务好、送得辛苦，可以自愿打赏。
而且打赏这件事，完全是用户自愿的行为。你觉得小哥雨天爬楼送得辛苦，转两块三块表示感谢，那是你的心意，钱也直接给到骑手。

说到这儿，小雷认为为啥这么一个离谱的梗，能有这么多人信以为真？
在我看来，本质上是大家对互联网平台的“增值服务焦虑”已经积累很久了。不知道大家有没有同感，现在不管用什么APP，收费名目是越来越花哨了。
D | 以前点外卖就餐费加配送费两项，现在结算页面拉下来，打包费、准时宝、放心吃、远距离加价、高峰加价、节假日服务费，一堆条目看得人眼花缭乱。
当然也有人说，要是真有高学历骑手，沟通更顺畅、服务更好，愿意多花钱。
话说回来，小雷哔哔（ID：xiaoleibbb）觉得自愿打赏完全没问题。不过服务好不好是很主观的感受，学历高不代表服务一定好，把学历和服务价格强行绑定，除了制造噱头多收钱，没什么实际意义。

另外玩梗归玩梗，咱们得有基本的判断力。
现在网上 P 图造假的门槛实在太低，改两行文字、调一下排版，就能做出一张以假乱真的“官方界面截图”，先别着急站队，更别随手就转发扩散。
其实验证起来往往很简单，像这种平台功能相关的传言，打开对应的APP进到结算页面看一眼，几秒钟就能知道真还是假了。
说到最后，要是以后真的有平台推出“高学历骑手专属配送”，需要你多付几块钱配送费，你会愿意买单吗？欢迎在评论区留下你的想法，咱们一起唠唠。
