German Economy Minister Katherina Reiche visited China from May 27 to 29, 2026, holding talks with Chinese trade minister Wang Wentao and other officials in Beijing and Guangzhou. She emphasized the importance of fair competition and cooperation to make the relationship stable and forward‑looking. Reiche cited the 2025 trade volume of more than 250 billion euros, making China Germany’s largest trading partner. She highlighted joint work on energy technologies and the need to explore new cooperation areas while continuing dialogue with the Chinese government. The trip follows President Friedrich Merz’s February state visit, which underlined the significance of the partnership and the potential for further agreements such as aircraft orders for Airbus.
