Wiesbaden, Germany — In a remarkable shift in global trade dynamics, Germany’s trade with China experienced a significant downturn in 2023, witnessing a 15.5% decline compared to the previous year. This decrease marks a notable change in the economic interactions between the two nations, which have been among the most robust trading partners in recent years.
The decline in trade with China signals a potential shift in Germany’s international trade strategy and reflects broader global economic trends that are influencing bilateral trade relations. Meanwhile, the slight growth in trade with the United States points to a strengthening economic partnership between Germany and the US.
