In the meantime, large corporations such as Apple and Volkswagen are being targeted. In addition to the European investment agreement CAI (Comprehensive Agreement on Investment) and a planned supply chain law for German companies, Western countries are taking action with sanctions and boycotts against China, but also against the companies involved.
