As German Chancellor Olaf Scholz prepares to visit the Chinese mainland this week, business leaders are buzzing about China's green industrial transformation and its potential to supercharge collaboration. Oliver Oehms, executive director of the German Chamber of Commerce in North China, told CGTN that China's world-class manufacturing capabilities are now driving a sustainability revolution – and German companies are ready to ride the wave. 💼⚡
🔑 Why it matters: With Scholz's visit starting tomorrow (Feb 25), his first since taking office, all eyes are on how renewable energy partnerships and eco-tech innovation will shape cross-border investments. Oehms highlighted China's growing expertise in sectors like wind turbine production and EV battery recycling as prime areas for German collaboration.
🌍 The big picture: This isn't just about selling products – it's about co-creating solutions for global climate challenges. As one Beijing-based analyst put it: "When German engineering meets Chinese scale, the green transition gets real." From smart grid systems to carbon-neutral factories, 2026 could be the year these partnerships go mainstream.
