Comparison between the two, Scholz was quite anxious to visit China, but there was great resistance from Germany.
Chinese capital invested in Hamburg Port
COSCO Group and equity seller Hamburg Port and Logistics Co., Ltd. reached a contract to acquire 35% shares . At that time, the transaction did not attract the attention of the German government because the transaction "Fudi" terminal was one of the four container terminals in Hamburg Port, and it was the smallest one.
However, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, six federal departments including the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Interior, suddenly spoke out, claiming that China may use its economic influence to implement its geostrategic interests, so it firmly opposes Chinese capital investment.
But what is the situation in Germany now?
Energy is short, so he bit the bullet and took out 200 billion euros subsidies, and ate the tide of the year of the year; his ally the United States sold energy four times the "friendly price", while not forgetting to deceive Germany's industries to move to the United States; aiding Ukraine, causing frequent protests at home, and even a plunge in polls... In this situation, Scholz clearly realized the importance of China to Germany, but the "traffic light" government was not Scholz alone. With the help of German companies, Scholz stood on the side of supporting the transaction.
Because if rejected, COSCO Group may choose to transfer its business to ports such as Rotterdam and Antwerp , leaving Hamburg Port without any competitiveness.
So under the measurement, the German cabinet approved part of COSCO Shipping's investment, but can only obtain 24.9% of the shares of the "Fudi" terminal, and prohibit further acquisitions that exceed this threshold. Even in the future, new acquisitions will require new investment review procedures.
In Germany, a 24.9% ratio means that the operation decision-making power of Hamburg Port cannot be obtained, otherwise the original 35% would be fine.
Hamburg Mayor Chenchell said anxiously that absorbing Chinese capital will not pose any threat to Germany's critical infrastructure, and the dock itself is completely 100% controlled by the Hamburg Municipal Government.
Scholtz's visit to China was to seek cooperation to get rid of Germany's current dilemma, but such a "trial" approach by the German cabinet made Scholz's sincerity in visiting China a little embarrassed.
Pakistani , Vietnamese comrade double visits
Pakistani tandem and Vietnamese comrade tandem visits were the achievements of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China that attracted them.
Pakistan The political circle generally recognizes that China's current achievements make them amazed, and the direction of China's future development is also a direction that Pakistan pays great attention to. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shabaz visited China for the first time after taking office. First, he continued his consistent active and close exchanges, and second, he hoped to learn from China's experience in the development of labor and land-intensive industries such as agriculture and light industry.
Shabaz hopes to promote the new stage of development of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor , strive to undertake the transfer of Chinese industries in some fields, promote employment opportunities in Pakistan, and improve the level of industrialization.
As General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Nguyen Phu Tung was particularly considerate when sending a congratulatory message to the top leaders of the Communist Party of China, and sent a "double name" congratulatory message in the name of the CPC Central Committee and his personal name.
Socialist countries . Communication between the Communists does have more common language than Scholz. Vietnam, which has its own ideas, does not copy the Chinese model , learns from China's development experience and combines it with Vietnam's reality, and seeks appropriate development.
Vietnam realizes that active exchanges with China are economical and better China-Vietnam relations are also mutually beneficial.
Both visits from Pakistan and the Vietnamese Communist Party may bring some inspiration to Scholz's visit to China. (Easy)
