[Preface]
The current international situation is unpredictable, various contradictions and conflicts are continuous, and everyone is constantly seeking new cooperative relations, trying not to fall behind in the era of rapid development.
Recently, quite a few representatives of various countries, such as Lavrov and Scholz, have come to our country for talks on cooperation, and we have shown a warm welcome to such a situation.
After all, in the process of development, we have always been in order to let everyone make progress together and build a community with a shared future for mankind.
The "luxury team" brought by Scholz when he arrived made everyone very curious, wondering, what is the purpose and reason for his visit?
[Western leaders visiting China for the first time this year]
As the first leader to visit our country this year, Scholz brought three cabinet ministers and a very luxurious economic delegation with him, in addition to himself.
Including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Siemens and other local leading companies, just from the lineup, we can know that Scholz came with great sincerity, after all, such a situation did not happen before.
Scholz's behavior has also made other countries that are always concerned about us see that we have weight in the eyes of Germany, and if we reach a cooperative relationship with these companies, it can directly bring us economic benefits of 2,000 billion.
For us, since Scholz has brought sincerity, we have no reason to refuse, and at the same time, we will also make Scholz satisfied with this cooperation project.
Especially after listening to the speeches of the representatives of BMW and Mercedes-Benz, friendly cooperation has become a sure thing, and the representative of BMW said that this year is the 10th anniversary of the establishment of an all-round strategic partnership between us and Germany.
And it is a great honor for me to come to China with Scholz this time, and the name BMW is familiar to everyone, after all, we can often see the very recognizable blue and white car logo on the street.
BMW has been in our country for more than 30 years, and has received strong support from both countries in the development of our country, so there is still a bright future in the future development momentum.
Not only that, the representative of BMW also said that our country will become BMW's largest market in the future development direction, and such a commitment has also indirectly brought the relationship between the two countries closer, after all, who does not like sincere partners.
And Mercedes-Benz representatives are not far behind, to the cooperation between the two sides, the representatives are also very important, this time to our country, is the second time this year, once again standing on the familiar land, the emotion is naturally more.
The representative said that in recent years, China has been continuously promoting high-level development signals, which has greatly promoted the confidence and enthusiasm of the market, which has laid a great foundation for the development of future car companies.
At the same time, he is also willing to believe that with the implementation of more preferential policies, our country will lead the development direction of car companies in the international community, and Mercedes-Benz will continue to strengthen the cooperative relationship with our country.
Of course, in addition to the speeches of the representatives of Mercedes-Benz and BMW, the representatives of other enterprises who came together made certain expressions, all of which were remarks that believed in our country and wanted to continue in-depth cooperation with us.
However, the cooperation with the enterprise does not mean the meaning of the leaders of the two countries, after all, there is still a big difference between the enterprise and the country, so let's take a look at what Scholz and our representatives have said.
[Conversation between representatives of both sides]
According to official information, we can see that our President Xi received Scholz, and as the head of Germany, Scholz's voice in Germany is very high.
However, this reception is not the same as the reception he received when he came in 2022, when Scholz came to our country last time, we held a welcoming ceremony and put the venue for the meeting in the Great Hall of the People.
Again, there was no welcome ceremony, and the meeting took place at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, but this time the visit was longer and the schedule was richer, and Scholz went to Chongqing and Shanghai before coming to our capital.
We talked to local companies and other representatives about the relationship between the two countries and the German companies that are investing in our country, and we can see from the reports that the meeting was very positive and friendly.
The positive signals of the first two days also laid the foundation for the third day to go to Beijing and communicate with our President Xi, and there are also speculations as to why he chose Chongqing as the first stop on his visit.
First of all, Chongqing's development is very advanced, and there are many German companies operating in China in the Chongqing area.
We can take this situation as a hint, because on the 10th of this month, the EU has already said that it will conduct a countervailing investigation on our export of turbine wind turbines.
Naturally, we cannot sit idly by in the face of such unfair treatment, so our Minister of Commerce has also warned the EU to do so, not allowing them to use unilateralism.
Scholz is also on our side in this matter, and before visiting our country, Scholz communicated with Macron, wanting to exhort to balance the relationship between Europe and us, after all, it is not good for them to force us in a hurry.
Secondly, when it comes to our country, Scholz's purpose is to better strengthen the economic and trade relations with our country, among which the issue of economic investment is the primary issue, so the itinerary arranged is more down-to-earth.
Our country also understands Scholz's needs, and during the talks, we did not choose the Great Hall of the People, a more serious place, and the main focus was to strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two sides in a relaxed atmosphere.
In the course of the talks, we also put forward the essence of the relations between the two countries, because there is no conflict of fundamental interests between the two countries and they do not pose a threat to the other side, so the cooperation between the two sides is reasonable.
Because of the current turbulent international situation, it is not easy for the two sides to maintain steady development against such a background, but it is also the direction of the future development of the international community.
As for how the two sides can maintain such a relationship and cooperate for a long time, we have also given the answer, that is, we will set a good example of maintaining stability and coherence in our policies towards Germany, and we need to increase strategic trust between the two sides.
At the same time, the supply chain between the two countries should show a deep embeddedness, and there should be a high degree of dependence between the market, because the mutually beneficial cooperation between the two sides is not a risk, but a guarantee and opportunity for the relationship.
In this regard, President Xi also said that the two sides can focus on cooperation in machine manufacturing, automobiles and high-tech, after all, new energy is the general direction of future development.
Finally, there is the issue of independence, but because the focus this time is on the economic issue, we have not talked too much about this issue, and Scholz has brought so many business representatives to the result, which is what we want to see.
For the two countries, this cooperation is inevitable, and of course, one point is quite important, that is, the two sides have reached a consensus on the Palestinian-Israeli and Iran-Israeli conflicts, which involve Germany's direct interests.
This is quite important and rare, because both sides choose to support the two-state solution on the issues facing Palestine, and then on the basis of this solution, the matter can be resolved through negotiations, so that the local problems can be resolved at an early date.
I have to say that the meeting was pleasant, and after the morning talks, our top level walked with Scholz and had lunch together, during which the two sides again started talks and exchanges.
This situation is also rare, but it also shows that this meeting is a win-win situation, at this time, some friends may be curious, what is the reason for Scholz's visit?
[Reason for Scholz's visit]
When it comes to Germany, in fact, everyone's first impression of it is that it is very developed on an industrial basis, and when many friends choose to buy a vehicle, they will also choose to buy a German car.
However, German industry is not as strong as it used to be, because they are now 40% deindustrialized, that is, when it reaches 100%, the name of Germany's manufacturing power disappears.
There are also many local enterprises that choose to go to the United States to set up factories, so that Germany's influence in industrial development has declined significantly, which is very unfavorable for Germany's development.
You know, in the last century, Germany relied on a strong manufacturing industry to gain a firm foothold in the international community, and its industrial development was quite strong, but it was a pity that it stood on the wrong side and listened to the words of the United States, and finally seriously affected itself.
Fortunately, now they are aware of their own shortcomings and have corrected them in time, which is why they are now cooperating with us, but as long as they can correct them in time, there is a possibility of recovery, and I believe that in the future development, the two countries will carry out more cooperation.
【Conclusion】
In the future, we will also unite all the forces that can be united to cope with the major changes that may occur in the future, and lead more countries to a more modern development path.
