The Chinese leader of the China Germany high level financial dialogue, vice premier of the State Council he Lifeng, and the German leader, German Deputy Prime Minister and finance minister klimber, CO chaired the fourth China Germany high level financial dialogue in Beijing on the 17th. During the dialogue, helifeng said that China is willing to work with Germany to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, open a new chapter of the all-round strategic partnership, and make new contributions to the stable growth of the world economy. Klinbeir said that Germany is willing to work closely with China in the financial field to promote greater development of bilateral relations. During the dialogue, the two sides reached a series of mutually beneficial and win-win results and consensus. Since then, helifeng and klinbeier have jointly attended the second Sino German round table of financial circles. "China and Germany agreed to strengthen economic and trade ties and end trade tensions." Reuters said in its report on the 17th that China and Germany are the world's second and third largest economies respectively.

It is understood that the China Germany high-level financial dialogue is one of the three high-level dialogues and cooperation mechanisms between China and Germany. The two sides agreed that the dialogue should be held every two years in principle and in turn in the two countries.

German television channel 2 reported on the 17th that at the beginning of the talks, China called for enhanced dialogue, encouraged German enterprises to "invest in China", and stressed the hope to work with all parties to create a fair and non discriminatory business environment. With regard to the trade dispute with the EU, China expressed the hope that Germany could use its influence to promote the easing of bilateral relations. It is reported that the EU has imposed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and other products. In response, China launched an anti-dumping investigation on some EU products.

Germany's Le Monde said on the 17th that for Germany, China is a partner and competitor, and klinbeir held talks with the Chinese Vice Premier for six hours, which is not trivial. According to a source from the German government, klinbeir had communicated with Prime Minister Mertz and foreign minister Waldorf on key issues before starting his visit to China. "We have maintained close communication within the German government and within the European Union.".

It is reported that klinbeier told the media before the fourth China Germany high level financial dialogue: "Germany and China can work together to find solutions to the challenges of our times." he pointed out that Germany's investment in professional technology and engineering has helped China's development and modernization process, and Chinese suppliers also play an important role in Germany's industrial value chain. "The close trade relations between Germany and China over the past few decades mean that we shoulder common responsibilities".

Jianjunbo, director of the China EU Relations Research Center at the Institute of International Studies at Fudan University, said in an interview with the global times on the 17th that the visit of the German finance minister to China is an important step in the official institutionalized exchanges between China and the EU, and is of positive significance for promoting bilateral relations through institutionalized channels. At the same time, the dialogue took place against the background of some recent spats and frictions in China Germany relations and poor public opinion atmosphere. Therefore, properly improving and resuming official exchanges and promoting the development of bilateral relations can play a positive role. Jianjunbo believes that the necessity of the talks is mainly based on two aspects: first, bilateral relations have fallen into a certain degree of deadlock due to German "improper operation" and lack the momentum to move forward, especially after the German Mertz government came to power, this deadlock has not been effectively alleviated, and it is urgent to improve relations with China; Secondly, Germany's domestic economic development faces many challenges and difficulties, and economic factors have become an important driving force for promoting dialogue.

Stefanbernhardt, vice president of the European Chamber of Commerce in China, told the global times on the 17th that the current geopolitical tension continues to escalate. It is both important and necessary for the EU and its member states to maintain a normal dialogue with China, and this financial dialogue focuses on the financial sector. In the past year or so, relevant member enterprises of the European Chamber of Commerce in China have made some positive progress in this field, but there are still some long-term problems to be solved. He also said that in addition to specific issues in the financial sector, some recent challenges that have a broad impact on European enterprises have also been included in the discussion, including the stability of rare earth and semiconductor supply chains.

Jian Junbo said that in general, klinbeir's visit will help promote official institutionalized exchanges between China and Germany, enhance political mutual trust, lay the foundation for bilateral economic and trade cooperation, and may expand potential market contacts. He said: "from the perspective of China EU relations, as an important member of the EU, if Germany's exchanges with China tend to be stable, it will help the overall development of China EU relations in the direction of normalization and play a positive role in promoting it."
