Joerg Wuttke in conversation with Frank Sieren: The President of the EU Chamber of Commerce in China believes sanctions are wrong, argues for pushing ahead with the investment agreement, and sees only limited European political influence on China. While the EU should protect itself against unfair competition from Chinese state-owned enterprises, it should see competition from private companies as an incentive. The goal of the policy should be a prosperous China. At the same time, Wuttke warns Beijing not to squander its opportunities out of overconfidence.

Jörg Wuttke im Gespräch mit Frank Sieren: Der Präsident der EU-Handelskammer in China hält Sanktionen für falsch, plädiert dafür, das Investitionsabkommen weiter voranzutreiben und sieht nur begrenzten politischen Einfluss von Europa auf China. Die EU sollte sich zwar gegen die unfaire Konkurrenz von chinesischen Staatsunternehmen schützen, den Wettbewerb von Privatunternehmen jedoch als Ansporn verstehen. Ziel der Politik sollte ein prosperierendes China sein. Wuttke warnt Peking zugleich davor, seine Chancen aus Übermut zu verspielen.

Private space travel is booming in China. A high-tech industry with a future. Providers are hoping for international customers for space services, such as those previously offered by companies from the USA or India. That is why the Chinese provinces are competing with each other and investing billions. However, the question of how private the companies actually are could cause problems.

Complaints about counterfeits are part of everyday life in the China business. Yet most expats are unaware of one of the most spectacular imitations: Mao Zedong once even had the Tian'anmen Gate secretly torn down and rebuilt. For a long time, no one doubted the copy's authenticity. But 87 centimeters of height difference betrayed the secret.
