'Xi Jinping now gathered all the yes-men'

Joerg Wuttke, President of the EU Chamber of Commerce in China, considers Xi Jinping's new leadership team an echo chamber without any objections. For Xi, security and stability are now more important than market economy and innovation. For this very reason, he believes it is now more important than ever to speak with China. He considers Chancellor Olaf Scholz's visit to Beijing, as well as the sale of shares in the Port of Hamburg, to be sensible and important. Frank Sieren spoke with Wuttke.

Xi's third term: Climate policy is important, but growth is paramount

China's President Xi Jinping is about to serve a third term as head of state. Under him, climate policy became important in the country with the highest carbon emissions. Emissions have been curbed and renewables greatly expanded. But experts doubt that the green transformation will happen faster in the future. Both growth pressure and the coal lobby are too strong, and internal and international crises are too dominant.
