Beijing's "China Standards 2035" initiative has caused experts to turn heads. The project shows that China has discovered standardization as an industrial, geopolitical and power-political instrument. The EU Chamber of Commerce in China will present a report on standardization in the People's Republic on Thursday. Germany and the EU still have some catching up to do, especially in key technologies, says Sibylle Gabler, Director Government Relations at the German Institute for Standardization (DIN). Speaking to Amelie Richter, however, she gives the all-clear: China is still a long shot from reaching superiority. But there is still a lot of work to be done.
