Summary 
------- 
 
1. (C) China supports a more important role for 
Germany in the United Nations, China's leaders told 
visiting German Chancellor Merkel, according to MFA 
European Affairs Division Director Wang Shunqing. 
Wang said that during Mrkel's May 21-23 visit to 
China, China and Germany agreed to initiate a 
strategic dialogue later this year.  Merkel met with 
President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao and the 
visit strengthened bilateral political and economic 
cooperation, including signing 19 cooperation 
agreements.  An intellectual property rights agreement 
related to textiles will strengthen Sino-German trade. 
In discussions on Iran, Chinese leaders resisted the 
notion of sanctions. China seeks to coordinate energy 
policies wih Germany so as to avoid confrontation. 
Premier Wen told Chancellor Merkel that when China 
decides to expand the Mag-Lev line, China's 
cooperation with Germany will continue, according to 
Wang.  Merkel reassured PRC leadership of the 
continuity of German policy toward China but stressed 
that good and rapidly developing bilateral relations 
must contain certain elements, most notably progress 
on enforcing intellectual property rights (IPR) 
protection, according to the German Embassy Political 
Counselor. 
 
Big Delegation, Short Visit 
--------------------------- 
 
2. (C) MFA European Affairs Division Director Wang 
briefed diplomats on Chancellor Merkel's May 21-23 
visit to China.  Separately, German Political 
Counselor Kessler briefed Poloff.  Wang and Kessler 
each said Merkel's delegation comprised more than 200 
members, who arrived on two specially-chartered 
planes.  German Economics Minister Glos, Transport 
Minister Tiefensee, six parliamentarians and 40 key 
industry representatives accompanied the Chancellor. 
By design, the trip lasted under forty-eight hours. 
Arriving in Beijing near midnight May 21, Merkel held 
a May 22 morning working session with Premier Wen 
Jiabao and met President Hu Jintao in the afternoon. 
China and Germany signed 19 cooperation agreements 
covering finance, culture, transport and renewable 
energy.  Wen and Merkel attended the fourth annual 
Sino-German High-tech Forum.  Merkel also met with 
Wang Jiarui, Head of the International Department of 
the Communist Party of China's (CPC) Central 
Committee.  Kessler noted that Merkel attended a 
reception at the German Ambassador Stanzel's residence 
for non-governmental organizations and civil society 
representatives concentrating on rural issues and 
migrant workers rights.  On May 23, Merkel visited 
Shanghai before departing China.  Vice Premier Zeng 
Peiyan accompanied Merkel in Shanghai, where Merkel 
met Shanghai Mayor Hang Zheng and, separately, with 
Chinese Catholic Bishop Jin Luxian. 
 
3. (C) Merkel's visit strengthened bilateral political 
and economic cooperation, according to Wang.  During 
her consultations, Merkel stressed that Germany will 
continue its previous policies toward China and 
reiterated its one China policy.  Premier Wen agreed 
to visit Germany later this year and, separately, 
China and Germany decided to begin a Vice Foreign 
Minister-level strategic dialogue.  Zhang Yesui will 
lead PRC efforts.  The strategic dialogue format and 
topics have not been finalized, but China would like 
to include consultations between the foreign 
ministries and other line ministries.  Both sides 
reiterated the importance of strengthening 
consultation and coordination on major concerns in 
international affairs, Wang said. 
 
4. (C) Asked whether the trip was a success from 
Germany's perspective, Kessler said the Chancellor's 
visit achieved its objectives.  In addition to getting 
to starting the process of developing relationships 
with PRC leaders, Merkel reassured her Chinese 
counterparts of the continuity of German policy toward 
China.  However, she stressed that good and rapidly 
developing bilateral relations must contain certain 
elements, most notably progress on IPR protection, 
Kessler said.

PRC Supports Bigger UN Role For Germany 
--------------------------------------- 
 
5. (C) China supports a more important role for 
Germany in the United Nations, Wang said.  Merkel and 
China's leaders expressed satisfaction with the 
overall state of China-EU relations and China hopes 
Germany's EU presidency in the first half of 2007 will 
continue to advance ties.  China believes Germany 
plays a significant, active and positive role in 
European and international affairs.  Other specific 
issues, such as the EU arms embargo, Market Economy 
Status and EU concerns regarding China's human rights 
record were not discussed, Wang said. 
 
6. (C) Kessler said that China's support for Germany's 
role was nothing the PRC "hadn't told us before."  The 
G-4 proposal for UN Security Council reform or other 
specifics were not mentioned.  Merkel did raise human 
rights concerns with both Hu and Wen, specifically 
questioning them on prospects for rapprochement with 
the Dalai Lama.  Hu and Wen both said China's door is 
open but the Dalai Lama must stop engaging in 
"splittest" tactics and recognize PRC authority, 
according to Kessler. 
 
China Resists Iran Sanctions 
---------------------------- 
 
7. (C) Wang said Iran topped the agenda for 
discussions on international issues.  Chancellor 
Merkel told President Hu and Premier Wen that Germany 
supports diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis but 
believes sanctions should now be considered and Iran 
must be instructed to cooperate with the IAEA. 
Germany believes Iran has the right to the peaceful 
use of nuclear technology but must stop enriching 
uranium immediately and transparently meet its IAEA 
safeguards obligations.  Germany hopes the 
international community, including China, can adopt a 
united approach.  China's leaders reiterated PRC 
support for resolving the situation diplomatically. 
China appreciates EU-3 and Russian efforts and hopes 
the EU-3 plan will contain innovative proposals 
acceptable to all.  Differences should be resolved 
through dialogue.  China is aware of the gravity of 
the current situation but believes there is still room 
for diplomacy, China's leaders told Merkel, according 
to Wang. 
 
PRC Seeks Energy Coordination 
----------------------------- 
 
8. (C) Wang noted China and Germany recognize energy 
security is now a issue of global concern.  During 
Chancellor erkel's visit, China and Germany committed 
to increased cooperation on energy, especially 
renewable and alternative energy, and discussed 
coordinating policy to avoid confrontation.  China's 
leaders briefed Merkel on China's energy policy, 
according to Wang. 
 
PRC Pledges Mag-Lev Cooperation 
------------------------------- 
 
9. (C) Asked about the Mag-Lev train dispute, Wang 
said China and Germany share good cooperation and 
together produced a 30 km Mag-Lev line between Pudong 
Airport and downtown Shanghai.  China is considering 
extending the line 175 km to Hangzhou and there are 
discussions between various companies.  Premier Wen 
told Chancellor Merkel that when China decides to 
expand the Mag-Lev line, China's cooperation with 
Germany will continue, Wang said.  Kessler stressed 
the German and Chinese governments are clearly in 
favor of the Mag-Lev project, but said Merkel noted 
the companies involved must negotiate and close the 
deal. 
 
19 Agreements, Few Details 
-------------------------- 
 
10. (C) When asked, Wang declined to provide specifics 
on the 19 agreements signed between China and Germany 
during the visit, which covered railway technology, 
financial cooperation, high-technology, 
telecommunications, energy, culture and sports. 
German and Chinese textile associations signed a 
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on IPR protection. 
 
BEIJING 00010734  003 OF 003 
 
 
China's Government views IPR protection as a priority, 
not just for textiles but for many other areas.  The 
MOU will promote Sino-German and Sino-European trade 
and reduce friction.  A feasibility study on solar 
energy projects was signed between a German company 
and a company in Inner Mongolia.  China and Germany 
also agreed to a variety of cultural and youth 
exchanges and agreed to strengthen cooperation on the 
Olympic Games, Wang added.  Kessler did not provide 
further elaboration. 
 
PRC Upbeat On Sino-German Ties 
------------------------------ 
 
11. (C) Wang said Sino-German relations have been very 
good in recent years, with frequent exchanges of high- 
level visits and cooperation in culture, education and 
science.  President Hu Jintao visited Germany in 
November 2005.  The new Foreign Minister visited China 
in February 2006.  Positive momentum continues, with 
Chancellor Merkel's visit coming within the first six 
months of the formation of Germany's new government. 
Merkel's visit, her first to Asia as Chancellor, sends 
a clear signal to the outside world that Germany seeks 
to expand and deepen its relations with China.  China 
was the only country she visited on this trip.  China 
values the visit as a chance to better understand 
Germany and ensure optimal personal and working 
relations between German and Chinese leadership. 
Bilateral trade totaled USD 63.2 billion in 2005, Wang 
noted.
