As we all know, Under Trump's lead, USA is becoming more powerful in global world, but if China cooperate with Germany, can these two become more power than America? Let's see.
Chinese
Premier Li Keqiang left Beijing for Berlin on Wednesday to start an official
visit to Germany, at the invitation of German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Li
and German Chancellor Angela Merkel held the two nations' yearly prime
ministers meeting that same day, with innovation high on the agenda.

The
two leaders also planned to attend a forum on the topic and talk with business
executives from both sides.
On
his arrival, Li said his visit is meant to build on the Sino-German friendship,
and to promote innovation while enhancing cooperation between the two
countries.
Gu
Junli, a German studies expert at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said:
"The synergy of the Made in China 2025 strategy and Germany's Industry 4.0
campaign is likely to be a major topic of the premiers' meeting.
"Germany
is seeking intelligent manufacturing, while China is trying to deeply integrate
manufacturing with the internet, to have the power of the market improve the
pattern and quality of the manufacturing industry."
The
nations' different approaches provide a huge opportunity for cooperation, and
Li's visit is expected to expand and deepen the cooperation, he said.
Gu
said key areas may be renewable energy and environmental protection, which are
growing pillar industries in Germany.
Ambassador
to Germany Shi Mingde said in an interview with Chinese media before the visit
that "manufacturing industries of the two nations are highly
complementary. China
is a big manufacturing country, while Germany is a strong
one.
"A
new round of industrial revolution is speeding up, gaining momentum ... which
has brought an unprecedented opportunity for strategic cooperation."
Shi
said there are 8,000 German companies operating in China with a total
investment volume of more than 60 billion euros ($67 billion), while nearly
2,000 Chinese enterprises are operating in Germany.
Those
companies will be a key strength in advancing cooperation, he said.
Two
strong nations joining hands will have an effect far beyond their boundaries,
Shi said.
He
cited the potential for construction under the Belt and Road Initiative. That
refers to the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road,
which aim to increase connections between Asia, Europe and other areas.
He
also mentioned the possibility for Beijing and Berlin to jointly influence the
establishment of global standards for intelligent manufacturing.
The
forum during Li's visit is expected to forge new, innovative ways to cooperate
in fields such as smart manufacturing, electric vehicles and innovation by
young people, he said.
Hubertus
Troska, a member of Daimler AG's board who is responsible for China, said the
trends of connectivity, autonomous driving, sharing and electric mobility are
revolutionizing the auto industry, "perhaps nowhere faster than in
China".
China
and Germany have fostered a fast-developing and more mature relationship with
closer high-level communications, rapidly-growing
trade and investments and new achievements in the field of
people-to-people exchanges, Li said, adding that the two countries should
continue to consolidate mutual trust, strengthen bilateral cooperation and
enhance communications in a spirit of mutual respect and equality.
The
Chinese premier is on an official visit to Germany for an annual meeting
between the two heads of government, a mechanism launched in 2004.
