Die Arktis spürt den Klimawandel bereits jetzt besonders stark. Mit dem schwindenden Eis wachsen Begehrlichkeiten in der Region: Pekings Aktivitäten im hohen Norden alarmieren Brüssel. Der EU-Sondergesandte für die Arktis, Michael Mann, schätzt das aktuelle Konfliktpotenzial aber als gering ein.

The Arctic is already feeling the effects of climate change particularly strongly. With dwindling ice, covetousness is growing in the region: Beijing's activities in the far north are alarming Brussels. However, the EU's special envoy for the Arctic, Michael Mann, assesses the current potential for conflict as low.

The economic environment in China is becoming more uncomfortable, according to the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce. Compared to the spring, German companies operating in the People's Republic are taking a more negative outlook on economic development in the coming twelve months. As a concrete consequence, they are shifting their investments to other parts of the world. The behavior of its hitherto most loyal foreign investors should give China food for thought.
