German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has recently joined TikTok, posting his first video on Monday with a promise not to dance, aiming to engage with young voters. This move comes as Scholz prepares for a significant trip to China, where he, along with top German CEOs, will hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing from April 16 for four days. The visit reflects Germany's ongoing economic ties with China, despite a push for 'de-risking'. Meanwhile, the far-right Alternative for Germany party is also actively using TikTok to court young voters, indicating a wider political embrace of the platform in Germany.
