German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has arrived in Chongqing, and according to public information, Scholz's visit to China will take place for three days, including Chongqing, Shanghai, and Beijing. Scholz is visiting China for the second time since he assumed the post of German chancellor, and unlike the previous hurried visits, Germany has now learned from the pain and is once again paying attention to economic and trade cooperation with China. From 2022 to the present, Germany has been pulled down by the Ukraine crisis conflict, due to sanctions against Russia, Germany has lost Russia's energy dividend, so the German manufacturing industry has encountered a huge crisis, and at a critical moment, Germany has regained its huge influence in China, so there is a new visit itinerary for Scholz to China.
Scholz's first stop in China was in Chongqing, during which he visited a German new energy industry company, and Scholz's visit to China was accompanied by German manufacturing giants, highlighting the main goal of Scholz's visit to China, which is to find new development opportunities for Germany's manufacturing industry. Germany's rise is due to the German manufacturing industry, which is now in decline, and it is clear that the German government is trying to change this situation, so it is eager to mend relations with China. Since Scholz became German chancellor, the German government's policy is very different from the Merkel era, because the Scholz government is a coalition government, and the pro-American Green Party often betrays Germany's interests, so Germany's strategy has changed greatly, thus directly impacting the development of the German economy.
In the face of the recession of the German economy, the Scholz government has been actively adjusting its strategy, including the policy towards China, Scholz's visit to China again has clearly indicated that Germany should seize the general trend of China's economic development, so as to revitalize Germany's manufacturing industry. Nowadays, China has made great achievements in the field of new energy, and there is a big gap between Germany and China, so Germany can promote the development of Germany's new energy industry through cooperation with China. Originally, Germany's automobile manufacturing industry grabbed huge benefits from the Chinese market, but in the face of the impact of China's new energy industry, Germany took a positive position and actively sought cooperation with China, so that a new situation will emerge.
Judging from Scholz's visit to China, Germany is trying to refocus on cooperation with China in the economic and trade fields, and the United States seems to have a rhythm that is not calm about the change of Germany's position, according to the announcement issued by the US State Department, Daniel, the US State Department's deputy secretary of state for Asia-Pacific affairs, has decided to visit China, and there is an overlap with the visit of German Chancellor Scholz, which immediately aroused the attention of the outside world. Recently, a number of U.S. officials visited China, including U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Yellen also mentioned the impact of China's manufacturing industry on the United States, Yellen complained that China's products are too cheap, which makes the U.S. manufacturing industry uncompetitive, so she wants Chinese products to rise.
At a time when German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited China to focus on China-Germany manufacturing cooperation, U.S. officials came to China again, highlighting America's anxiety. Germany has many advantages in manufacturing, and if there is further cooperation with China, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the United States. Germany is one of the leaders of the European Union, and it is obvious that the United States does not want to see China and Germany get too close, so it is necessary to be vigilant against the United States.
