Der Mangel an Mikrochips aus Taiwan löst sich nur langsam auf. Bei deutschen Autobauern droht daher Kurzarbeit und auch in China stehen Bänder still. Grund ist unter anderem ein "Klopapiereffekt" – wenn einige Akteure anfangen zu hamstern, legen auch die anderen größere Lagerbestände an. China reagiert mit gigantischen Investitionen.

Since 2015, the European External Action Service has been analyzing disinformation campaigns that reach the EU from Russia to undermine democratic institutions – comparable activities from China, by contrast, are treated poorly. This is also because the European Council has not yet issued an official mandate to consistently pursue Chinese misinformation. Critics accuse the EU of a lack of political will.

The shortage of microchips from Taiwan is only slowly disappearing. German carmakers are therefore threatened with short-time work, and assembly lines in China are also at a standstill. One of the reasons is a "toilet paper effect" – when some players start hoarding, others also build up larger stocks. China is reacting with gigantic investments.
