Joerg Wuttke in conversation with Frank Sieren: The President of the EU Chamber of Commerce in China believes sanctions are wrong, argues for pushing ahead with the investment agreement, and sees only limited European political influence on China. While the EU should protect itself against unfair competition from Chinese state-owned enterprises, it should see competition from private companies as an incentive. The goal of the policy should be a prosperous China. At the same time, Wuttke warns Beijing not to squander its opportunities out of overconfidence.

The meeting between the US and China in Alaska did not deliver much substance. The approaches of the two interlocutors were too contrasting. China's goal is to ensure that its political model gets a permanent and uncontested seat at a table dominated by liberal democracies. Possible sanctions do not phase Beijing.
