According to the official website of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Xi Jinping held talks with Frank-Walter Steinmeier at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on the afternoon of the 30th.
Xi Jinping said that as the world’s second and third largest economies, China and Germany bear important responsibilities for the development of China-EU relations and the stable development of the world economy, and should send positive signals to the outside world that they should remain open rather than closed, and cooperate rather than confront. He hopes Germany will view China’s development and cooperation with China with an open and positive outlook.
He said China firmly promotes high-level openness to the outside world and welcomes companies from around the world, including Germany, to enter China and share the dividends of the ultra-large market. It is hoped that Germany will adhere to openness and inclusiveness and provide a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies in Germany.

The essence of China-EU economic and trade relations is complementary benefits, mutual benefits and win-win results. As long as we adhere to the partnership conditions and maintain the same tone of negotiation, differences and problems can always be resolved. Hope the EU and China will meet each other and work together to promote an equitable and orderly world multipolarization and an inclusive and inclusive economic globalization.

Steinmeier also said that the economic relations between Germany and China are extremely dynamic, and it is logical to regularly review the infrastructure of cooperation between the two sides.
Steinmeier said in a speech at Peking University on the 29th, “If we Europeans find that our companies cannot enter the Chinese market, or can only enter under strict restrictions, while at the same time, China’s export products that receive state subsidies are coming to our market… then we will face the risk of falling into ‘one-sided vulnerability’.”
