Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang briefed reporters on the relevant situation after holding the sixth round of Sino-German diplomatic and security strategic dialogue with German Foreign Minister Baerbock in Beijing on 14 July. Qin Gang said that today's world is becoming chaotic and turbulent, becoming more and more noisy and fanatical.

China and Germany should cooperate rather than confrontation, whether it is zero-sum confrontation or bloc confrontation, he said. He said that economic and trade cooperation is the ballast stone of bilateral relations, and mutual benefit and win-win results are the "background" of China-Germany pragmatic cooperation.
