AFP report: On the first day of his visit to China, German Chancellor Merkel said on Wednesday (February 25) that China will order "up to 120" aircraft from European aircraft manufacturer Airbus.
However, when interviewed by AFP, Airbus responded that "there are currently no comments". Merkel also did not reveal the specific model of the aircraft ordered or the signing time.
Comment: Merkel proactively disclosed that China plans to purchase up to 120 Airbus aircraft. This is an attempt to highlight diplomatic achievements before details are clear and Airbus remains silent. This not only adds value to the visit to China, but also showcases trade and economic gains domestically, and is a clear signal of practical cooperation between China and Europe.
