Germany’s Olaf Scholz meets China’s Xi Jinping as trade in focus

Scholz’s trip to China has been criticised over his willingness to do deals

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has met with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the first visit by a leader of the Group of Seven (G7) nations to China in three years, Qazet.az reports.

Leading a high-level business delegation to China on Friday, the German leader’s focus on boosting economic ties with Beijing has led to criticism of his apparent desire to strike deals with a nation growing more authoritarian under President Xi.
