During his visit to China, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz achieved a significant breakthrough by negotiating the end of a longstanding ban on German beef imports to China. From April 16, Germany will be permitted to export beef from animals under 30 months old and apples to China. Furthermore, discussions are underway to potentially increase the flexibility of German pork exports to the Asian nation, as per announcements from the General Administration of Customs of China. This development marks a notable advancement in trade relations between Germany and China.
