China will order up to 120 additional aircraft from European aviation giant Airbus, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said, as he travelled to Beijing to deepen ties between his country and Asia's largest economy.
"The Chinese leadership will be ordering a larger number of additional aircraft from Airbus. The total order will include up to 120 additional aircraft," Merz told reporters after his meeting with Xi, adding that it "demonstrates how worthwhile such trips can be".
