Hamburg's First-Mayor Olaf Scholz states: " Hamburg has good, long-standing relations with China , and this is one of the reasons why the city is the ideal place for dialogue on the perspectives of Sino-European relations. For the fifth time now, CHINA TIME Hamburg provides insights into the China -related expertise our city has developed over the years. I am sure that the event will once again draw large numbers of visitors, thereby demonstrating the public's interest in China . CHINA TIME provides an ideal platform for this."
