• China and Germany have hug potential for win-win cooperation that needs to be tapped
  • A mutually beneficial cooperation is not a risk, but a guarantee for stable bilateral relations
  • Chin and Germany industrial, supply chains are deeply embedded in each other
  • Both countries should be wary of protectionism, should look at production capacity issues 'objectively'

Given the state of their respective economies, they might both be better off leaning on one another for now. The meeting looks to be one to reaffirm ties as such. That despite Germany and Europe in general trying to diversify their economic ties from China in recent years.
