  The German "Youth World" published on the 5th published a full page of Ambassador Wu Ken's signed article "Together in the Same Boat, Creating Opportunities", and simultaneously published on the newspaper's online version and Twitter account.

  Wu Ken pointed out in the article that despite the raging global epidemic and the accelerated changes in the world over the past century, China firmly believes that the theme of the era of peace and development has not changed, and that the trend of world multi-polarization and economic globalization cannot be reversed.

China will always be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of international order, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

The Communiqué of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee mentioned "reform" and "opening up" more than 20 times, and "innovation" 15 times, sending a clear signal that China will continue to deepen reform and opening up, promote innovative development, and achieve win-win cooperation. Countries in the world including Germany share the achievements of China’s development and bring more new opportunities:

  One is the opportunity in the Chinese market.

China is the largest trading partner of 128 countries, including Germany, and the world's largest growing market.

At the 3rd China International Import Expo held not long ago, more than 170 German companies participated actively, and the world's top 500 and industry leaders continued to participate in nearly 80%.

As China's economic growth turns from negative to positive, its strong resilience and vigor will be further revealed.

  The second is free trade opportunities.

China has signed the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement with the ten ASEAN countries, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, and is willing to negotiate high-standard free trade agreements with more countries, and actively consider joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement. , Strive to promote the completion of the China-EU investment agreement negotiations on schedule, promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, and promote trade innovation and development.

  The third is the opportunity for common development.

Under the epidemic crisis, the China-Europe express trains have grown against the trend, and both the volume of lines and the volume of goods transported have reached record highs, becoming the "channel of life" and "link of fate" for countries along the route to fight the epidemic together.

We will adhere to the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, and continue to promote the high-quality joint construction of the “Belt and Road” with Germany, to create a road of cooperation, health, recovery, and growth, and actively participate in the reform and construction of the global governance system .

  The fourth is innovation and cooperation opportunities.

Innovation is the wings of economic growth.

China is the world's largest patent application country, adheres to the innovation-driven development strategy, and has advantages and potentials in the fields of digital economy, artificial intelligence and green technology.

Recently, China's new-type car battery supplier Honeycomb Energy invested and built a plant in Germany, which will create 2,000 jobs for the local area. Chinese innovative technology companies such as Xiaomi are also rapidly entering Germany.

We are willing to strengthen cooperation in scientific and technological innovation with countries all over the world, including Germany, and make good use of the new business models and models spawned by the epidemic to continuously release development potential.

  Wu Ken said, "One person does addition and everyone does multiplication."

China and Germany are each other's all-round strategic partners, and both advocate adhering to multilateralism, strengthening international cooperation, joining hands to fight the epidemic, and jointly responding to global challenges.

A few days ago, President Xi Jinping spoke with Chancellor Merkel again, and both sides expressed their willingness to strengthen mutual trust and cooperation.

"I believe that China and Germany will join hands to provide stronger support and motivation for world prosperity and stability."
