as posted by the channelChancellor Friedrich Merz said he'll push ahead with a new effort to strengthen Sino-German ties while highlighting the need to address "high capacities" in China that "far exceed market demand" and are problematic for Europe.
Merz told reporters that he has good cooperation with China but there are certain challenges that need to be addressed together, and that he's determined to strengthen relations with China while openly addressing difficult topics.
Merz also said he tried to press Chinese President Xi Jinping to use his influence over President Vladimir Putin to end Russia's war on Ukraine, and announced that a new round of Germany-China government consultations could take place in China by the end of this year or early in 2027.
