BEIJING, July 13 (Reuters) - China hopes Germany can see its development "rationally, comprehensively and objectively", its embassy in Berlin said on Thursday, after Germany released its long-awaited China strategy paper.

China is Germany's partner in dealing with challenges, not a rival, the embassy said in a statement.

"Forcibly 'de-risking' based on ideological prejudice and competition anxiety will only be counterproductive and artificially intensify risks," it added. (Reporting by Beijing Newsroom; Editing by Alison Williams)
