When πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Chancellor Olaf #Scholz arrives in #China on Nov 4, he will be the first G-7 leader to visit πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ since the beginning of the pandemic.

Since πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³andπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ established bilateral relations in 1972, four πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Chancellors have visited the PRC 22 times.
Visits traditionally served to open the door for πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ businesses & foster cultural exchanges. They included cultural programs, joint venture tours, and a pinch of absurdity.
