Глава МИД КНР Ван И с 16 по 21 февраля примет участие в 60-й Мюнхенской конференции по безопасности, а также нанесет визиты в Испанию и Францию. Об этом сообщила официальный представитель китайского внешнеполитического ведомства Мао Нин. По ее словам, в рамках Мюнхенской конференции Ван И выступит с речью на мероприятии, посвященном Китаю, и изложит позицию страны по основным международным вопросам. Во Франции глава МИД КНР проведет Китайско-французский стратегический диалог. Отмечу, что Мюнхенская конференция стартует в пятницу. В ее преддверии был представлен аналитический доклад, озаглавленный "Lose-Lose?", что можно перевести как "Взаимный проигрыш?". В преамбуле к нему говорится о негативных тенденциях в мировой политике, росте геополитической напряженности и экономической неопределенности. Согласно документу, наиболее серьезными угрозами безопасности жители крупнейших экономик мира сейчас считают такие проблемы, как массовая миграция, терроризм, перемена климата и кибератаки.

В прошлом году Китай продолжил оставаться самым важным торговым партнером Германии. Причем эту позицию страна занимает восьмой год подряд. Об этом сообщило Федеральное статистическое ведомство Германии. В 2023-м объем двусторонней торговли составил 270 миллиардов долларов. Больше всего из Китая в Германию ввозили телекоммуникационное оборудование, обрабатывающие станки, автомобили и другие электронные устройства. По данным Института германской экономики, прямые инвестиции в КНР выросли более чем на 4 процента до почти рекордных 13 млрд долларов. Только за последние три года немецкие компании инвестировали в Китай столько же, сколько в период с 2015-го по 2020-й годы.

Сегодня - шестой день первого месяца Нового года по лунному календарю. Восьмидневные официальные выходные приближаются к завершению. В связи с чем вновь начинается ажиотаж на железных и автодорогах. Только за среду в стране было совершено более 310-ти миллионов поездок, в том числе 290 млн - по междугородним дорогам и скоростным шоссе. На поездах отправились в путь более 14 млн пассажиров - это рекордный показатель с начала сорокадневного периода "чуньюнь", что означает пик транспортных перевозок в преддверии и после праздника Весны, который в этом году стартовал 26 января. Ожидается, что сегодня этот показатель будет побит и вырастет еще примерно на миллион. Чтобы удовлетворить столь высокий спрос, в стране было запущено более 1200 дополнительных составов. Авиакомпании также внесли в расписание новые рейсы, особенно сильно увеличив количество маршрутов на курортный остров Хайнань.
