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?

    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. ❤❤❤

    Scholz achieved the laugh of the world.
  • @fabiosilva3495
    The president of China is just going to ignore this meeting. Is not even going to say anything to Putin. 👻🍀🤠

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

    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?

    Oh, I see, according to DW, Scholz went to China to give a lecture to the Chinese. Well done! another victory.
  • @hengongchua6250
    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.

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

    Have you reported on olaugh's support for war criminals waging a genocide in Palestine?
  • @user-lr8zd6yl8m
    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.
  • @aslammighty8835
    Indeed it was a great trip for Chancellor Olaf Scholz and has achieved many targets. He also discussed about how to end the conflict in the region. War isn't benefits for Germany nor for China.

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