Olaf Scholz meets Xi Jinping in China
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is at the tail end of his trip to China today, meeting Chinese leader Xi and Premier Li Qiang in Beijing.
The whistle-stop tour has seen him visit the southwestern megacity of Chongqing and the economic powerhouse of Shanghai.
A meeting with Chinese Premier Li Qiang was also on the agenda, as was a press conference with the German-Chinese economic committee.
The visit comes as Germany and its Western allies confront China on a range of issues, including trade, Taiwan, human rights, and its ties with Russia, reports DW.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says he wants to work with the Chinese leadership to improve conditions for German companies in the world's second-largest economy.
"They need the right framework conditions," Scholz said in the run-up to a meeting with China's Premier Li Qiang.
"By this, we mean equal market access and fair competitive conditions, the protection of intellectual property and a reliable legal system."
