German Chancellor Olaf Scholz embarked on a three-day official visit to China from April 14 to 16, aimed at addressing trade tensions and fostering closer economic ties. The visit, which includes stops in Chongqing, Shanghai, and Beijing, marks his second trip to China as Chancellor. During his visit, Scholz is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other top officials to discuss key issues such as trade, overcapacity, and support for Russia. Scholz's visit reflects Germany's complex position between deepening economic relations with China and addressing concerns from the US and EU about China's trade practices and its support for Russia. Additionally, Scholz condemned Iran's drone and missile strikes against Israel, promoted cooperation in hydrogen technology, and discussed the need for fair competition in the European auto market.
