BEIJING – China said on Thursday it would \u201copen its door wider\u201d to German businesses, giving a warm reception to visiting Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has wooed Beijing to counterbalance trade threats from U.S. President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Germany and China, two exporting nations that run large trade surpluses with the United States, have found themselves in Trump\u2019s firing line and are scrambling to preserve the multi-lateral order on which their prosperity rests.<\/p>\n

Merkel faces a delicate balancing act on the trip to show Chinese-German solidarity over trade and the Iran nuclear deal without harming ties with long-term ally Washington.<\/p>\n

In the latest U.S. trade move that has alarmed Beijing and Berlin alike, the Trump administration announced on Wednesday a national security investigation on into car and truck imports that could potentially lead to tariffs.<\/p>\n

The announcement hurt share prices of both European and Asian carmakers. China vowed to protect its interests.<\/p>\n

European countries are also concerned that their exporters could be hurt if China instructs importers to buy more U.S. goods to ease trade disputes with the Trump administration. China has already signalled to state companies to buy more U.S. oil and soybeans, trade sources told Reuters.<\/p>\n

Premier Li Keqiang, in a joint media appearance with Merkel at Beijing\u2019s Great Hall of the People, said China and Germany both upheld global free trade, and stressed the huge potential for cooperation between them.<\/p>\n

Though the two countries had problems, they could be overcome, Li said. \u201cChina\u2019s door is open. You can say it will open even wider,\u201d Li said.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s \u201cAmerica First\u201d trade policy, his administration\u2019s professed disdain for the World Trade Organisation, as well as his withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, have pushed China and Germany into closer alignment, German officials say.<\/p>\n

However, Merkel\u2019s government also shares many of the Trump administration\u2019s concerns about Chinese business practices, including what many Western countries say are state-backed efforts to push foreign companies to give up trade secrets.<\/p>\n

In Copenhagen, the chief executive of Maersk, the world\u2019s biggest container shipper, said China was \u201cbecoming more and more assertive about its own agenda \u2013 a China that uses its competition laws for own benefit\u201d in the shipping sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look with concern at the growing protectionist rhetoric around the world,\u201d Soren Skou said. \u201cThe EU will be the decisive driving force in free trade, not the least at a time when it seems the United States doesn\u2019t want to take the lead.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cSTRIDING FORWARD\u201d<\/h3>\n

Li said Beijing would protect the interests of German firms investing in China and adjust its rules if needed: \u201cIf they come across any problems during their investment, especially when it comes to legal protections, I can clearly tell you that China is striding forward to being a country with rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n

German companies have complained for years about barriers to the Chinese market and intellectual property theft.<\/p>\n

Merkel welcomed China\u2019s recent announcements that it would further open its financial sector to foreign participation and reduce Chinese joint venture requirements in sectors such as automobiles. But German industry said it was now up to China to deliver on its promises of greater openness.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina must rigorously reduce the asymmetries in market access,\u201d said Hubert Lienhard, head of the Asia Pacific Committee of German Industry (APA).<\/p>\n

Trump has also driven Europe to work more closely with China by pulling out of a 2015 deal to lift sanctions against Iran in return for curbs on its nuclear programme. European countries, Russia and China, all parties to the deal, are searching for a way to salvage it by continuing to offer economic benefits to Iran in return for its compliance, despite U.S. sanctions.<\/p>\n

Merkel, who personally lobbied Trump not to pull out of the pact but was rebuffed, said Germany and China were \u201cunited in the view that we do not want to put this agreement in doubt\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a nod to China, Merkel said that if U.S. sanctions force European companies to reduce business with Iran, \u201cthis creates the possibility for others to then get more into Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
