China hat in den letzten Jahren zwei Drittel der öffentlichen Ladepunkte für E-Autos weltweit installiert. Das Land führt damit den globalen Vergleich an. Der Zentralstaat, die Provinzen und Regionen subventionieren den Sektor massiv. Während der Ausbau jedoch auf dem Papier schnell vorankommt, hapert es zugleich stellenweise in der Praxis: Die Ladepunkte sind häufig defekt und die Bedienung ist kompliziert.

China has installed two-thirds of the world's public charging points for EVs in recent years. The country thus leads the global comparison. The central government, the provinces, and the regions subsidize the sector massively. However, while the expansion is progressing quickly on paper, there are problems in practice: the charging points are often defective and the operation is complicated.

For nearly 100 years, the Communist Party's United Front has sought to rally nonmembers to the party line and keep overseas Chinese under control. Its role as a string-puller in other countries, where it influences perceptions of Chinese politics through close networks of relationships with influential figures, is still completely underestimated. Sometimes foreigners do not even know they are providing valuable services to the United Front.

Chinese fashion platform Shein is shaking up the global fast-fashion industry and challenging the business models of Western competitors like Zara and H M with a sophisticated data strategy. The company already ships to 220 countries. Its market value is estimated at $15 billion – making it one of the most valuable tech startups in the world. However, as the company's profile grows, questions about its production and environmental standard are being raised.
