Accompanied by 24 leading German companies, including Volkswagen, BMW and Siemens, Merz pressed Beijing on subsidies, currency policy and critical mineral exports. Germany’s dependence on China has deepened over decades, with some firms once deriving up to 40 percent of global sales there. But rising Chinese competition and overcapacity are squeezing margins. The headline outcome: China pledged to order up to 120 Airbus aircraft. Even so, Berlin’s broader concerns remain unresolved as Germany balances ties between Washington and Beijing.
