On July 21, 2022, Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, presided over a regular press conference

Agence France -Presse: German Foreign Minister recently said in an interview that Germany is actively seeking to reduce its economic dependence on China and say that it is necessary to ensure that Germany will not be "blackmail" because of dependence on China.What does China respond to this?

Wang Wenbin: Sino -German economic and trade cooperation is essentially mutually beneficial.From "complementarity" to "mutual integration", the Sino -German industrial chain is the result of the common role of market laws and enterprises, and it is also due to the contemporary international division of labor.Dependence is mutual, and the so -called "reduction of dependence" is a pseudo -proposition.Under the background of the current rising world economic uncertainty and instability, China and Germany, as the world's major economies, should inject positive energy into high -level mutual benefit cooperation between the two countries and maintain the open world economy into the two countries.It is hoped that Germany and politicians will be taken correctly and will not mislead the people and harm their own interests.
