China Media Touts Economic Growth, Hails Ties With Germany

Turning to today’s China brief, now look at some of the stories making headlines and national news outlets as well as trending online. Now, an opinion piece in the Economic Daily calls for special policy measures against those who smear and slander private entrepreneurs. It says that websites should also do their part to ban so-called rumor mongers. Now, last month we did hear from of course, the Chinese beverage giant Nung Fu Spring was targeted by online trolls and that resulted actually in a drag on its stock as well. Over at the Global Time, some commentary on China’s latest economic figures as well analysts are saying that the data. Has debunked the so-called Peak China theory, saying that quote US-led ideological prejudice against Beijing will not shake the countries economic development elsewhere. She was front page was also focused on German Chancellor Olaf Schultz meeting with President Xi. Now the article does emphasize the ties between the two countries and it says that global challenges cannot be solved without countries working together. Now China’s ties with Germany and Schultz’s visit also being pushed on social media as well with promoted post on Weibull. Talking about this, you know, there’s not a whole lot of, you know, much discussion, but we what we’ve seen is that the comments section has been highly censored, Steve, which of course is a pretty sensitive subject when it comes to geopolitics. Yeah, it’s a tightrope. Obviously, Olaf Schultz has had to walk. He wants to continue trade with his biggest trading partner, China. But at the same time, it’s against the backdrop of EC President Ursula Vanderlyn, who has been pushing a lot of possible subsidies coming down the Pike and trade restrictions. Because of distorted trade from her perspective. So it makes sense. To kind of court Olaf Schultz opinion, yeah. And we certainly heard from the president at his remarks and really just saying, you know, this has actually helped, you know, Chinese exports actually helped tame inflation around the world in some ways as well. So at least, you know, putting a positive spin on all that as well.
