In the view of Schumann, President of the Federal Association for Economic Development and Foreign Trade in Germany, Taicang is almost like a "German city in China", setting an example in all aspects of Sino German exchanges. The successful cooperation between China and Germany demonstrated in Taicang not only promotes urban and regional development and prosperity, but also serves as an important cornerstone for enhancing friendship between the Chinese and German people and strengthening Sino German relations. Schumann encourages German friends to go to China and also encourages Chinese friends to go to Germany.

At present, Taicang has 60 "hidden champions" of German enterprises, accounting for nearly 10% of the country's manufacturing industry, forming three major industrial innovation clusters: new energy vehicle parts, aerospace, and industrial aircraft. At the same time, more than 600 local enterprises and research institutes in Taicang have cooperated with German enterprises in industrial support, innovation collaboration, talent cultivation, and capital cooperation, promoting Taicang to become a global high-end automotive parts production base and an international high-end intelligent machine tool industry cluster.

Heining, the chief representative of Bavaria, Germany in China, believes that Bavaria and Jiangsu Province are official cooperation provinces with many successful cooperation projects. However, in China, no other region can become a symbol of successful cooperation between the two countries like Taicang. Taicang has nearly 200 enterprises from Bavaria, known as China's Schwaben. Taicang is definitely one of the preferred places for German companies to invest in China.
