There is no direct contradiction between China and Germany. I hope the two countries can increase trade and achieve mutual benefits and win-win results!

[johnfeng]

Warmly welcome German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to China! Cooperated China and Germany for world peace and prosperity! Long live German Chinese friendship!

Should pay less attention to these noises from America.

Work with China for peace and prosperity.

Work with USA for war and destruction.

Germany, please choose wisely.

What is the point of talking with China?
- When was the last time Xi Jinping kept his promises or honoured his signatures?

...chiny są największym dostawcą litu, potrzebnego do produkcji akumulatorów do elektrycznych aut...po to pojechał tam...

Scholz' visit to China today is a disgrace and I am deeply ashamed! I can't believe we don't know better after having finally realized how dependent we have become of countries that do not share our democratic values and are a threat to the world. Plus:What a terrible sign this sends to anyone who fights for human rights. Looks like we care more economic success than anything else. What a sad day!
