German Chancellor Olaf Scholz leaves for China on Saturday for a three-day diplomatic visit that includes meetings with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

Accompanied by a high-level business delegation, the German leader is expected to address grievances over the trade deficit between the EU common market and the world’s second-largest economy.

Scholz is also expected to question China’s ties with Russia amid the Ukraine war and Beijing’s aggressiveness toward Taiwan — a self-ruled island China claims as its own.
