What did Germany's Scholz achieve with his trip to China? | DW News

The three-day trip included some difficult diplomacy when Scholz met at length with Chinese President Xi Jinping Tuesday. The leading topics on the agenda included Germany and the EU's trade ties with China, and Russia's war on Ukraine. This was the first meeting between Scholz and Xi since Germany introduced its new strategy to de-risk from China last year. Has this changed relations?

Germany 🇩🇪 condemn Russia 🇷🇺 but support Israel 🇮🇱 attacking civilians in Palestine 🇵🇸

Double standards Germany 🇩🇪
Free Palestine 🇵🇸

[MgWynn]

Double standard at best. Who complained about overcapacity before China was able to produce EV, solar panel n wind turbine? ? ?... China has to produce much more products to feed 1.4b people. Long live China. ❤❤❤

[araara]

Scholz achieved the laugh of the world.

[fabiosilva]

The president of China is just going to ignore this meeting. Is not even going to say anything to Putin. 👻🍀🤠

[huanghermann]

He has achieved nothing, that is the conclusion DW wants to say.

Subsidies? Do you know that the selling price of Chinese electric vehicles sold in Europe is more than twice the selling price in China? Imagine that if the price is the same as the domestic price in China, European consumers would meet their demand for electric vehicles, which would be fatal to European car manufacturers. So, who is the problem with being so expensive yet popular?

[ramdev]

China takes Germany very seriously. They sent an assistant Mayor to meet Scholz at the airport.

[brianlee]

Oh, I see, according to DW, Scholz went to China to give a lecture to the Chinese. Well done! another victory.

When world leaders visit China, the Chinese mostly talk and discuss with the visiting guests about trades, cultures, relationships and world peace.
When world leaders visit united snakes they will most likely talk and discuss war in the world and talk about how to contain China. We are sure to hear China, China and China.

Xi to Scholz: ''Bend over and get it!!''

[albertteng]

hahahahaha Schols expect china to help end ukraine war with russia? China and russia are both in cahoots, how does scholz expect china to do that. Wasteful trip

[Brisamars-qc]

Have you reported on olaugh's support for war criminals waging a genocide in Palestine?

[choonhockong]

China no need to depend on the EU. Vast market in Asean countries. President Xi should tell Chancellor to go the US for help.

GERMANY DEPENDS MORE ON CHINA THAN THE OTHER WAY AROUND

[fromtheswampajax]

Which countries have been involved in wars since the collapse of USSR (1990).

[roughead]

Ah yes a peace conference without Russia...WTF

[Richard-sm]

Europe war needs European solution, American solutions might look great outside but have a darkside inside, expansion of NATO all the way to Russian border was a grave mistake.

[Melior_Traiano]

As always the comment section is full of positivity. I expected nothing less.

[pingjuaneza]

Panda man was looking forward to the eating part of this meeting more than anything else.

[viorelpiscanu]

In EU Germany has a strong Voice... When Germany meet China at Beijing...well it SEEMS to be very different... I wonder why!?
