This was an important occasion for us – we have been approached by media outlets and spoke about the current business sentiment among German companies in China - and what the business community expected from the visit.
Overall, the business environment has grown more complex: geopolitical tensions, global trade conflicts, fierce competition, price pressure, and export controls are just a few of the topics on the table.

We also discussed new business opportunities, including the international expansion of Chinese companies.
