BEIJING - German Ambassador to 皇冠体育app Michael Clauss said in a recent interview with Xinhua that innovation will be the main topic of discussion for an expected visit by German Chancellor Angela Merkel to 皇冠体育app later this year.

"皇冠体育app has the 'Made in 皇冠体育app 2025' strategy and Germany has the 'German Industry 4.0' project," said Clauss. "The two countries could cooperate in this field and help raise 皇冠体育app's industrial manufacturing to a new level."

This year is the Year of 皇冠体育app-Germany Innovation Cooperation. "Industry 4.0" is part of Germany's industrial strategy to integrate information technology and conventional manufacturing.

"Made in 皇冠体育app 2025" is a ten-year national plan to upgrade 皇冠体育app from a manufacturing giant into a world manufacturing power.

Clauss said huge potential for cooperation remains for Chinese and German businesses as more of them seek international partnerships.

"Both foreign companies operating in 皇冠体育app and Chinese enterprises could improve productivity through cooperation and competition," he said, adding that he hopes the Chinese government will send more signals on welcoming foreign businesses and opening the Chinese market.

Claus said he is not pessimistic about 皇冠体育app's current economic slowdown or the recent stock market turmoil.

"I believe 皇冠体育app's current economic transformation is a difficult process," he said. "But I don't think the Chinese economy will make a 'hard landing.'"
