German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is paying a three-day state visit to China from Sunday, with Environment Minister Steffi Lemke in his delegation. Hans-Josef Fell, president of German think tank Energy Watch Group, told China News Network in an interview that the two countries should join together on all aspects concerning environment and climate change.

Stressing that the switch to renewables is decisive for global environmental protection, Fell hoped that Germany and China could increase the growth rates of renewable energy, clean traffic and clean industry, calling for all countries to accelerate economic growth with new technologies.
