Contrary to concerns about 'de-risking,' Beijing and Berlin are enhancing their bilateral relations, emphasizing mutual growth and collaboration.
The two world's second and third-largest economies are exploring expansive cooperation in both traditional sectors like machinery manufacturing and automobiles, as well as emerging fields such as green transformation and digital artificial intelligence.
China remains Germany’s largest trading partner in Europe, with their bilateral trade accounting for one-third of the total China-EU trade, highlighting the significant interdependence between the two nations.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's recent visit to three Chinese cities included intense engagements with German firms in renewable energy, signaling a deepened commitment to Beijing-Berlin cooperation in green energy initiatives. "Only by working together will we be able to find solutions to stop climate change and manage the green energy transition in a socially just way," Scholz stated during his China trip.
This collaboration underscores the shared vision of both nations to address global challenges through sustainable and innovative solutions, paving the way for a prosperous and environmentally responsible future.
