NATO has discovered China. For the first time, the People's Republic appears in the final summit declaration. In it, Beijing is called on to show more transparency about its weapons arsenal and to live up to its responsibilities at sea, in cyberspace and in outer space. NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg expresses satisfaction at having brought the 30 states onto a common line vis-à-vis China. But behind the scenes, there are different opinions.

Die Nato hat China entdeckt. Erstmals taucht die Volksrepublik in der Abschlusserklärung eines Gipfeltreffens auf. Darin wird Peking aufgefordert, mehr Transparenz über sein Waffenarsenal zu zeigen und seiner Verantwortung auf See, im Cyberspace und Weltraum gerecht zu werden. Nato-Generalsekretär Stoltenberg zeigt sich zufrieden, die 30 Staaten auf eine gemeinsame Linie gegenüber China gebracht zu haben. Doch hinter den Kulissen gibt es unterschiedliche Ansichten.

The EU vaccination certificate should make traveling easier just in time for the holiday season. For those vaccinated, there are simplifications such as the elimination of quarantine or mandatory testing – but not for everyone. This is because the Chinese vaccines Sinovac and Sinopharm are not recognized in the certificate, as the EMA approval is missing. However, EU states can additionally individually recognize the Chinese vaccines. This creates a patchwork for travelers.
