China and Germany to discuss ties in high-level talks.
China and Germany are set to hold high-level government consultations in Berlin, with Premier Li Qiang and members of his Cabinet in attendance. The relationship between the two countries has soured in recent years due to issues such as China's friendship with Russia, tensions in the Taiwan Strait, and the repression of the Uyghur minority in Xinjiang. Despite this, China remains Germany's most important trading partner. The German government is expected to adopt a new China strategy, but has yet to announce it due to internal disagreements within the coalition.
