Talking about China-Germany economic and trade cooperation, Wu said that in the short term, the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries under the new crown pneumonia epidemic did have some obvious impacts; but in the medium and long term, after the epidemic situation is controlled, the two countries will There will be a strong compensatory rebound.
Wu Chen pointed out that China and Germany are each other's most important trading partners, Germany is China's largest trading partner in the European Union, and the total trade between China and Germany accounted for one-third of the total trade between China and EU countries last year. For Germany, China is Germany's largest trading partner in the world, and its importance is also obvious.
Wu Cheng said that the epidemic of new crown pneumonia has spread globally. In the short term, due to some restrictions on personnel exchanges between the two sides, economic and trade activities between China and Germany have also been significantly affected, such as international aviation, transportation logistics, hotel exhibitions, business contacts and other industries. The impact is more direct. At the same time, due to the highly globalized industrial chain, the supply chain of some key intermediate products that the two countries have cooperated with has also been negatively affected, such as the automotive industry and electronic equipment.
However, he believes that in the medium and long term, after the epidemic situation is controlled, the two countries will have a strong compensatory rebound. China is currently in full swing to resume work and production, and Germany has recently launched an unprecedented economic package of 750 billion euros. In addition, during the epidemic, Chinese and German companies spontaneously provided mutual assistance and donations, which fully demonstrated that the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries is very friendly.
"After the epidemic, I believe that this kind of cooperation between companies will be closer."

There will be great development opportunities, "so I believe that the momentum and potential of Sino-German economic and trade cooperation will be continuously released after the epidemic." (End)
