With trips to America and China, Taiwan's incumbent President Tsai Ing-wen and former President Ma Ying-jeou are sounding out their parties' foreign policy positions ahead of the presidential elections in January 2024.

CATL investiert einen Milliardenbetrag in eine Batteriezellfertigung im ungarischen Debrecen. Vor Ort kommt das nicht bei allen gut an, es gibt Demos und Klagen. Der Batterie-Gigant versucht bisher vergeblich, die Bürger zu beschwichtigen.
