9月27日，在四川省人民政府舉行的2021國慶招待會上，德國駐成都總領事魯悟剛接受本刊記者專訪。

德國連續多年是中國在歐盟最大的貿易伙伴，9月26日開始的德國大選及即將產生的德國新政府對華政策備受關注。“新的聯邦總理選出來后，肯定會嘗試盡快訪華，以便繼續推進德中兩國間的長期互信與合作。”魯悟剛表示，相信兩國將繼續保持良好關系，并希望兩國在抗疫、疫苗互認等方面開展更深入的合作。

中德高科技合作成效顯著

正在推進“工業4.0”戰略的德國，十分重視智能制造等高科技領域的合作。魯悟剛表示，很多德國企業非常樂意與中國企業在自動駕駛、智能制造、人工智能等領域開展合作。

據了解，西門子成都工廠是全球最現代化的工廠之一。2019年，西門子在成都高新區建立了西門子智能制造成都創新中心，這是全球第一個融合創新與研發于一體的智能制造創新平臺、全球第一個匯聚離散與流程制造軟硬件技術的創新中心、全球第一個基于“云”的開放式物聯網操作系統海外研發中心、全球第一個集創新中心與數字化工廠于同一城市的示范基地。

魯悟剛告訴記者，在磁懸浮技術研究方面，德國和四川也有意密切合作，希望取得顯著進展。總領事館曾就此同西南交通大學進行交流，德國企業馬克斯·博格集團與成都市新筑路橋機械股份有限公司正在聯合建設磁懸浮列車試驗線，該項目引進德國先進的中低速磁懸浮技術，將服務于短距離交通運輸。

此外，作為汽車強國，德中兩國在汽車制造業方面也有諸多合作。如大眾、捷達、保時捷等德國汽車品牌的最新產品在四川均有銷售。

“希望人員往來盡快恢復常態”

對德國駐成都總領事館來說，推進德中兩國經貿關系向好發展是其重要職能之一。“良好的經貿關系符合兩國的共同利益。”魯悟剛表示，德國在華、在川企業一直十分支持中國的改革開放與發展，希望繼續為此作出相應的貢獻。仍在持續的全球疫情導致國際人員往來、國際航班受限，對國際交流與合作產生了巨大的影響。魯悟剛希望疫情盡早結束，人員往來盡快恢復常態，“經濟和文化交流都依賴于人員往來，這也涉及旅游業的發展”。魯悟剛補充道，旅游業對德國和四川十分重要，許多德國人希望來川看大熊貓，中國人也希望去慕尼黑、柏林等德國著名城市旅游。

疫情還導致海運面臨諸多困境。魯悟剛表示，在這一背景下，中歐班列在保障國際供應鏈方面發揮了重要作用。他舉例道，成都開通了至德國杜塞爾多夫、杜伊斯堡、紐倫堡等地的多條線路，對運輸往返德中兩國的商品發揮了重要作用。他建議，中歐班列可以從價格和速度方面發力，進一步提升其在國際運輸方面的競爭力。

At the National Day reception held by the People’s Government of Sichuan Province on September 27， 2021， Wolfgang Rudischhauser， Consul General of the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Chengdu， received our interview.

For many years， Germany has been China’s largest trading partner in the EU. Therefore， the German federal election starting from September 26， the upcoming new administration， and which China policy it will adopt are all under the spotlight in China. “When our new chancellor is elected， I think he or she will try to visit China as soon as possible to keep our long-term trust and cooperation going.” Consul General Wolfgang believes Germany and China will stay on good terms and hopes the two countries can deepen cooperation in fighting COVID-19， mutual recognition of vaccine certificates， and other fields.

China and Germany make remarkable achievements in high-tech cooperation

Germany on the way to implement the Industry 4.0 strategy assigns great importance to cooperation in high-tech fields such as smart manufacturing. According to Consul General Wolfgang， many German enterprises want to cooperate with China in autonomous driving， smart manufacturing， AI， and plenty more.

Take Siemens who operates one of the world’s most advanced factories in Chengdu. In 2019， Siemens established the Siemens Smart Manufacturing Innovation Center Chengdu （SMIC） in the Chengdu Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone. SMIC is the world’s first smart manufacturing innovation platform that integrates innovation and R&D and the world’s first innovation center that combines software and hardware technologies for discrete manufacturing and flow manufacturing. SMIC is also the world’s first overseas R&D center for cloud-based， open IoT operating system and the world’s first demonstration base that gathers an innovation center and a digital factory in the same city.

Consul General Wolfgang said Germany also hopes to work closely with Sichuan in the research of electromagnetic suspension technology and expects encouraging progress can be made. In this regard， the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Chengdu ever had exchanges with the Southwest Jiaotong University before. German multinational construction company Max B?gl is now working together with Chengdu Xinzhu Road & Bridge Machinery Co.， Ltd. on building a maglev test line. Based on the advanced technology of medium-low speed maglev introduced from Germany， the project will be used for short-haul transportation.

Moreover， as one of the world’s leading car producers， Germany also has practical cooperation with China in car manufacturing. The latest products of German brands such as Volkswagen， Jeddah and Porsche are all sold in Sichuan.

“Hope personnel exchanges can return to normal soon”

For the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Chengdu， keeping Germany-China economic and trade relationship on good track is one of the key functions. “Maintaining a good economic and trade relationship is in line with the interests of both countries.” According to Consul General Wolfgang， German enterprises in Sichuan and the rest of China very much support China’s reform and opening-up policy and China’s development and are willing to make further contributions. But as COVID-19 is still ongoing around the world， international personnel exchanges and international flights have been disrupted， which has had a profound impact on international exchanges and cooperation. Therefore， he hopes the virus can be brought under control as soon as possible so that personnel exchanges can return to normal soon. “Both economic and cultural exchanges depend on personnel exchanges. Besides， the development of tourism will also be affected.” For either Germany or Sichuan， tourism matters a lot. Many German people are eager to visit Sichuan to see giant pandas and in China， Munich， Berlin and other German cities are popular tourist destinations among Chinese people， added Consul General Wolfgang.

The ongoing pandemic has also put shipping under great strain. Against the backdrop， China-Europe Railway Express has played a great role in securing international supply chains， said Consul General Wolfgang. For example， the routes from Chengdu to Düsseldorf， Duisburg， Nuremberg and other German cities have contributed a lot to the transportation of goods between China and Germany. He also suggested that China-Europe Railway Express focus on price and speed to further enhance its competitiveness in international transportation.
