BEIJING, April 16 (Reuters) - China and Germany have "huge" potential for "win-win cooperation" that needs to be tapped, China's President Xi Jinping told German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in a meeting on Tuesday.

Both sides should be wary of protectionism, and insist on looking at production capacity issues "objectively", Xi was quoted as saying by Chinese state television CCTV. (Reporting by Beijing newsroom; Editing by Himani Sarkar)
