Bavaria’s Prime Minister travels to China. It’s about the economy, about important men, of course about the Chancellery – and above all about really cute animals.
The Bavarian Prime Minister looks a bit grumpy as he gets into his limousine in front of the hotel on this bright first morning in China. The journalists traveling with him are wondering which Friedrich could have ruined his mood with which text message. But the first appointment of the day already has a massive impact on lifting Markus Söder’s mood. The rush hour traffic in the city of Chengdu, which has a population of 20 million, cannot slow down his motorcade; the Chinese hosts have closed various streets to ensure Söder’s timely arrival at his dream date with up to 240 pandas.
