Government consultations: German compani • Table.Briefings

For the first time since the end of the pandemic, Sino-German government consultations will be held again in Berlin on Tuesday. Olaf Scholz and China’s new Premier Li Qiang will meet on Monday. German companies in Beijing hope for a stronger focus on cooperation.

Ahead of the start of the government consultations with China, the German business community is calling for a detailed discussion of the potential for new cooperation at the meeting. „In developing the China strategy in recent years, much effort has been devoted to the question of how we can deal with China as a competitor and also as a system rival. From our point of view, the discussion about China as a cooperation partner came up short,“ said Jens Hildebrandt, Executive Director of the German Chamber of Commerce (AHK) in Beijing, commenting on the upcoming consultations with China in Berlin.
