Concerns about Europe's CO2 border adjustment

The EU has placed decarbonization at the top of its agenda to fight climate change. To this end, it has put together the "Fit for 55" climate package. One of the main pillars of this package is emissions trading – and the associated Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). It is still at the planning phase. The EU is wrestling with the details. But one thing is clear: CBAM could hit China particularly hard.

IOC justifies risks of Olympics app: turning a blind eye

The IOC defends the awarding of the Winter Olympics to Beijing with tooth and nail. Even warnings from IT experts about security holes in the My2022 registration system are shrugged off by the sports federation headed by the German Thomas Bach.

Chamber survey: euphoria fades into realism

Optimism among German companies in China is waning. Challenges weigh heavily on the market environment: Covid entry restrictions, concerns about politicization and decoupling, or staffing issues. Nevertheless, hardly any company wants to leave the People's Republic. Many even plan further investments – and want to localize their operations more.

Hope for unlimited power from nuclear fusion

European scientists are still leading in nuclear fusion research. But the People's Republic is catching up rapidly – thanks in part to foreign support. European scientists, on the other hand, criticize a lack of funds and bureaucratic hurdles. How far is China from almost limitless fusion power?

More packaging sustainability: an egg for recycling

To achieve its climate targets, China has issued new recycling regulations. Package delivery services are to use more recycled materials for packaging.

Oil and soy: 'the fate of our nation'

China is an export nation. But its exports are also dependent on imports. The country needs technology inputs and raw materials from abroad. And the majority has to be acquired from its geopolitical rivals. The trade war with the US has demonstrated Beijing its own vulnerability since 2018. This is why it opts for in-house developments for components and supplier diversification for raw materials.
