Gleichzeitig erhalten die Kanadier Michael Spavor und Michael Kovrig nach mehr als 1.000 Tagen Haft in China Amnesie.

A major matter between the US and China has been resolved. Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou is allowed to return home without punishment. At the same time, Canadian citizens Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig are granted amnesia after more than 1,000 days in Chinese custody. The chronology of events presents a politically loaded economic thriller caught between a power struggle between the rising and the acting world power.

China is striving to become the leader in innovation and high-tech in decades to come. In our interview, Almuth Wietholtz-Eisert from the Leibniz Association describes the implications for German scientists and researchers. International cooperation partners must not close their eyes to the fact that research in China often serves military, economic or repressive purposes of the CCP. Wietholtz-Eisert warns against forced technology transfers and targeted cyberattacks. The interview was conducted by Michael Radunski.
