Getting straight to the point! On February 25, German Chancellor Scholz stated at the Sino-German Economic Advisory Committee that we hope to strengthen Sino-German trade relations. The fact that two of the world's three major economies engage in trade releases tremendous power and wealth. If this dynamic is balanced and reliable, our two countries will benefit greatly. Before his visit to China, Chancellor Scholz made many moves, but upon meeting us, his eagerness to strengthen cooperation with us was evident.
Before his visit to China, Scholz called with Asako Kajiyama, and then stated that Germany adheres to the One-China policy, but how it is implemented is up to us. Regarding the Ukraine issue, Scholz claimed, "If China told Putin tomorrow: Stop, then Putin would have to stop the day after tomorrow." Obviously, a series of statements by the German chancellor before his visit to China make it hard to believe that he came here to cooperate in a pragmatic way with us.
But what's the result? Scholz said, "The fact that two of the world's three major economies engage in trade releases tremendous power and wealth." Facts prove that Germany's series of political performances are aimed at sitting better at the negotiation table. It is very clear that German manufacturing cannot do without the Chinese market, and the European economy cannot do without stable exchanges with China. Germany may have to seek balance between various parties, but in the field of economic and trade, Germany must deal with us rationally and pragmatically. With more than 30 corporate executives coming to China, such statements are probably Scholz's true intentions. He understands that Germany must cooperate with us pragmatically.
