German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will visit China next week for talks with President Xi Jinping focused on trade between Germany and China. The two-day trip begins just after Lunar New Year and includes a Beijing welcome with military honours, a meeting with Prime Minister Li Qiang, and a dinner with Xi. Merz will visit the Forbidden City, Mercedes-Benz, Hangzhou's Unitree robotics firm, and Siemens Energy while traveling with a delegation of business leaders. The visit occurs amid rising Chinese competition that has strained bilateral economic ties over trade practices, protectionism, and critical minerals supply, and aims to secure global economic relations for export-dependent Germany amid shifting U.S. policies.
