According to a report by Reuters on the 13th, a study released by the German Institute for Economic Research on the 13th shows that in the first half of 2026, German companies' investment in China increased by about one-third year-on-year, while investment in the US declined sharply during the same period. According to the report, according to the German Institute for Economic Research's analysis of Bundesbank data, from January to June this year, German companies' investment in China increased by about 5.6 billion euros compared to the same period last year. This scale is basically the same as the average investment level for the six months between 2020 and 2025. The article quoted German expert Jürgen Matthes as saying that it is a natural choice for German companies to continue to invest in China. He described China as both an important sales market and a “gym” where companies can refine their competitiveness.
