Economic and trade cooperation between China and Germany can be said to be a very important part of Sino-German relations, it is not an exaggeration to call it this ballast stone or stabilizer, Germany has its comparative advantages in many fields, such as the automotive industry, such as precision machine tools, machinery manufacturing, and Germany also has its own unique experience in vocational education and so on, so I think in these fields, China and Germany have a very broad space for cooperation.

It is understood that for a long time, Shenzhen has had close economic and trade exchanges with Germany. In 1997, Shenzhen and Nuremberg, Germany formally established a sister-city relationship, and for more than 20 years, the two sides have maintained close exchanges and cooperation in the fields of economy, science and technology, culture and so on. Huang Hongsheng, founder of Skyworth Group, introduced that Skyworth Group acquired German century-old enterprises in Nuremberg in 2015, and Chinese enterprises injected new vitality into local enterprises by "going out".
