The Munich Security Conference is overshadowed by the crisis between Russia and Ukraine. China's foreign minister is also warning against a new Cold War. But his warnings are not directed at Russia. Only upon being asked does Beijing point out the limits to its partner in Moscow. The Sino-Russian partnership is a rational alliance of convenience.

The EU Commission will present its long-awaited supply chain law on Wednesday – without an import ban on items produced with forced labor. The Chair of the Trade Committee in the European Parliament, Bernd Lange (SPD), is not happy about this. He now expects a separate EU law to ban such imports, which then simply has to be accepted by the Chinese. Lange speaks with Amelie Richter about the impact the supply chain law will have on trade with China.

Die Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz steht ganz im Zeichen der Krise zwischen Russland und der Ukraine. Auch Chinas Außenminister warnt vor einem neuen Kalten Krieg. Aber seine Warnungen richten sich nicht gegen Russland. Erst auf Nachfrage zeigt Peking seinem Partner in Moskau die Grenzen auf. Die chinesisch-russische Partnerschaft ist ein rationales Zweckbündnis.
