Gather 'round folks, 'cause China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi is heading to Berlin next week, marking his inaugural visit since Germany switched admins![1] The Foreign Office spILLled the beans on Wednesday, but they're keeping mum about the exact date for now. Germany's freshly minted Foreign Minister, Johann Wadephul, already had a friendly chat with Wang over the phone post-inauguration last month.[2]
And speaking of theater, Germany's Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz didn't want to miss out on the action – he chatted with China's President Xi Jinping shortly after he took the reins. According to official word, Merz and Xi agreed to keep their direct exchange alive and cook up more German-Chinese collaboration.[2]
Stay tuned for more diplomatic thrills, as Wang has Paris and Brussels in his sights too, as part of his travel itinerary![3] Of course, keep in mind that the specific timeline might adjust with the current state of affairs.[1][3]

Community policy discussions during Wang Yi's visit to Germany might involve the employment policy, as China-Germany cooperation includes various aspects such as trade and technology exchange. The shifting dynamics of general-news politics in both countries could play a significant role in shaping these employment policies.
