"No dialogue is achieved with moralizing lectures".

Michael Schaefer looks back on many aspects of the German-Chinese exchange: he was both German ambassador to Beijing and head of a major charitable foundation in Germany. In an interview with China.Table, he explains why dialogue is currently floundering – and what paths can lead out of this impasse. Schaefer was one of the initiators of "Zukunftsbrücke – Chinese-German Young Professional Campus", which celebrated its tenth anniversary this weekend with an event in Berlin. Finn Mayer-Kuckuk spoke with Schaefer.

Turning to China: US presence in South Korea is being questioned

The US's plan to house Afghan refugees on Asian military bases has sparked a heated debate in South Korea. The question is whether the presence of US troops in the country is still relevant. A convenient debate for China. Due to tensions with North Korea, Seoul increasingly looking towards China.

Fighting "white pollution" with bioplastics

China has a plastic problem. Trash is everywhere, and a modern waste and recycling management system are only just in the works. Beijing wants to counteract this issue with bioplastics. Huge production capacities are planned. However, the benefits of bioplastics without industrial composting are limited, and there is the added problem of a lack of facilities.

"Auto shows only remain a success story in China"

Classic car shows are having a hard time. That also applies to the IAA. Starting next Monday, it will be held again for the first time in two years – albeit no longer in Frankfurt am Main, but in Munich. And it's no longer just about cars, but about mobility in general. In an interview with China.Table, car expert Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer is not inherently opposing the new direction. But he would have liked a stronger thematic focus. In his opinion, the only car shows that still really still work are the ones in China. Felix Lee spoke with Dudenhoeffer.

China's electric cars outpace the competition

When the IAA motor show starts in Munich next week, many Chinese manufacturers will also be represented. The days when they were smiled upon are long gone. The attackers are fresh, young and agile. BYD in particular is attacking VW's electric models head-on with well-thought-out concepts.

Despite electric boom: several start-ups on the brink of extinction

China's electric market is growing and growing and growing. Nevertheless, not all electric start-ups make the cut. Some are lost on the way. Reasons are too high costs, management problems or excessive ambitions. Only those who get a grip on all these issues have a chance on the merciless predatory market. In the meantime, the stories of the once highly acclaimed bankrupt companies are sounding more and more like soap operas.

The panda bares its claws

China's new ambassador to the US, Qin Gang, sends a conciliatory signal at the beginning of his term in office with a message of greeting to a panda bear. But when it comes to COVID-19, it becomes clear that this new ambassador is also able to display a fierce attitude towards Washington. After all, unlike diplomats of democratic systems, Qin enjoys considerably less leeway in his work.

The problems surrounding China's sponge cities

The number of floods in China is rising. Although the country wants to transform more than two-thirds of its cities into so-called "sponge cities" by 2030 and even internationally, the recent floods in Zhengzhou expose the plan's weaknesses.

Green hydrogen from Inner Mongolia

China is the world's largest producer of hydrogen. But green hydrogen is still rare, and European companies are spearheading it. That is now set to change. With sun, wind and a lot of money, Beijing wants to turn Inner Mongolia into a hub for green hydrogen.
