Developing Good Economic Relations with China Germany | China | Economy
Recently, the 2023 East Germany Economic Forum was held in Batsaro, southeast of Berlin, Germany. During the forum, Hans Peter Friedrich, Chairman and former Vice Speaker of the German Bundestag's German Parliament Group, stated that Chinese companies in Germany are not only important to the German economy in the past, but also have good economic prospects in the future. As for eastern Germany, we need to make economic investments in many areas, such as Thuringia and Saxony, as well as sparsely populated areas like Mecklenburg Former Pomerania, because Chinese companies are very popular in eastern Germany.

In recent months, some German politicians have been claiming to reduce trade with China in order to reduce their dependence on China. "I think decoupling China is a bad idea because it would harm the German economy, which is why all actions that keep a distance from China in any way in terms of economy are wrong. As for 'de risk' alone, it is wise for every country and every company to avoid relying solely on any country or region in the world." Friedrich said, "I think the reason why some people now change the term 'decoupling' to 'de risk' is because they realize that 'decoupling' is completely untrustworthy and wrong. The Chinese economy is still full of vitality, and in the future, China will continue to play an important role in Asia. Therefore, I suggest that every country and region, including..." Germany should develop good economic relations with China

When discussing his expectations for the Sino German government consultation, Friedrich said, "I hope that the German ministers participating in the government consultation will recognize the enormous potential of cooperation with China. For example, the Federal Minister of Education and Research should understand the importance of technology cooperation between Germany and China, and take this opportunity to discuss with his Chinese colleagues how to strengthen technology cooperation between Germany and China. In addition, I also hope that the Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs can strengthen his own learning of China's professional knowledge and recognize that China will be an important partner for us in the future, which involves both foreign policy and economic policy."
Recently, according to German media reports, the person in charge of the German Chamber of Commerce stated that it is difficult for Chinese citizens who wish to travel to Germany due to business reasons to obtain a German visa. "This situation must change, and I hope that the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs can have a positive impact on the embassies and consulates in China, as we rely on personnel exchanges between the two countries, including businessmen and tourists." Friedrich said, "Moreover, most importantly, I hope that some ministers who have had less exchanges with China so far can broaden their horizons and recognize the importance of cooperation with China through this government consultation."
