Trade and climate are set to be key topics for German Chancellor Angela Merkel as she starts a visit to China.
China’s economy has grown considerably in recent years, but its development has also caused a significant rise in pollution including greenhouse gases.
The chancellor will meet China’s President Hu Jintao as well as Premier Wen Jiabao during her three-day trip.
Mrs Merkel will then go to Japan, which replaces Germany as the head of the G8 group of richest nations in 2008.
She is expected to meet Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo.
On the eve of her arrival in China, Beijing rejected reports in a German news magazine that hackers with links to China’s military had infiltrated German government computers.
