In China, science, innovation, and research are regarded as the key drivers of economic progress. Ruth Schimanowski from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) stresses that Germany should learn from this. In the CEO-Talk with Frank Sieren, she pleads for the development of China competence in the Federal Republic. And academic cooperation between the two countries should also be strengthened.
