CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- On the morning of April 14, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz arrived in Chongqing by special plane and began his three-day visit to China.

After briefly adjusting to jet lag, Olaf Scholz first came to Bosch Hydrogen Powertrain Systems (Chongqing) Co., Ltd. to visit and learn more about its hydrogen-powered products as well as hydrogen fuel cell solutions. Under the explanation of the staff, he experienced the assembly of hydrogen power module with great interest and gave his thumbs up.

Scholz came to Yuzhong District, Chongqing Municipality that afternoon, and experienced a “Mountain City” Walk. Scholz personally experienced the hot scene that “you think this is the 22nd floor, but in fact it is the 1st floor”. From the “online celebrity bridge” at Kuixinglou, he strolled to Jiefangbei, and then to the main gate of Luohan Temple, where he walked for 23 minutes in total.

On his last stop in Chongqing, Scholz had been to Jiangbeizui Jiangtan Park.

Seeing Professor Xu Yi and his team from the College of Optoelectronic Engineering, Chongqing University waiting here, Scholz shook hands with each member of the team and learned in detail about the latest research results achieved by the cooperation between the College of Optoelectronic Engineering, Chongqing University and Germany Kurt Schwaber Institute for Measurement and Sensor Science and Technology (KSI), namely the chips which can be used to monitor the water pollutants.

Looking at the various chips and testing instruments displayed on the table, Scholz was very interested, he also put on the red laser protective goggles and used a pipette to inject the sample into the charged particle fluorescence detector, and poked his head in front of the instrument’s screen to observe the results of the sample tested.

“On the one hand, he thought that our cooperation is very effective; and on the other hand, he also affirmed that what we are doing is very meaningful to protect the environment and biodiversity.” Chen Li, a professor from the College of Optoelectronic Engineering, Chongqing University, said that Scholz recognized their joint project and hoped to further strengthen cooperation.

It is worth mentioning that on that day, Scholz also had a cordial exchange with students from Chongqing University. “The Chancellor talked with us about his views on urban construction, career planning and values.” Feng Panpan, a doctoral student from the School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Chongqing University, told the reporter; and the students present also asked Scholz about his impression and evaluation of Chongqing. “He said that it was his first time to come to a Chinese city other than Shanghai and Beijing, and that Chongqing’s architecture and delicious food were very distinctive.” (Translated by Liu Hongyan, Fathom Language Limited)
