Cooperation only certainty for Germany

China Daily  

LI MIN/CHINA DAILY All eyes are on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz who just concluded a three-day visit to China from Sunday. There is still ample potential for economic cooperation between China and Germany, especially in digital and green economies, as well as in electric vehicles, clean energy, biopharmaceuticals, and artificial intelligence. And Germany's oscillating policy toward China is bound to cast a shadow over future economic cooperation. Following the Russia-Ukraine crisis, the EU followed the US in adopting a "de-risking" strategy toward China, which has significantly impacted Germany, leading to the adoption of new security and China policies in 2023. On July 13 last year, the Scholz government passed its first comprehensive China policy, which advocates for "systemic rivalry" with China and emphasizes the necessity of reducing economic dependence on China.
