Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz expressed his hope for greater scientific exchange with China. This exchange is needed, Scholz said on Monday at Tongji University in Shanghai. During the Covid pandemic, contacts had decreased significantly, which was not good. „But now it’s different again. In this respect, I hope that talks will increase again, as will reciprocal visits,“ said Scholz on the second day of his three-day China visit. He pointed to the Chinese students in Germany and said it was good that the number of German students in China was rising again.
