With around 1000 exhibitors, the "Auto Shanghai" is the largest car show in the world. German suppliers present their new electric cars in elaborate shows, with which they want to come out of the defensive. Many models have been specially designed or adapted for the Chinese market.

The EU is engaged in China-bashing at a time when its own reputation is damaged, and its room for maneuver is dwindling. Fundamentally, the question arises as to the sense and effect of politically motivated sanctions, such as those imposed against China. There are many analyses that come to the conclusion that the effects of sanctions are usually misjudged. And with regard to China, it cannot be assumed that the sanctions will trigger a process that will improve Europe's relations with China and thus open up opportunities for influence.

Auf dem weltgrößten Wachstumsmarkt für E-Autos hinken deutsche Autobauer trotz großer Anstrengungen noch immer hinterher. Kein deutsches Fabrikat befand sich 2020 unter den zehn bestverkauften Modellen, während die heimischen Hersteller ihren Vorsprung weiter ausbauten. Denn chinesische Käufer haben andere Kaufprioritäten als Deutsche. Trends und Marktchancen zeigt die „Auto China“, die mit über 1000 Ausstellern größte Automesse der Welt, die in dieser Woche in Shanghai stattfindet.

In the world's largest growth market for EVs, German carmakers are still lagging behind despite great efforts. No German brand was among the ten best-selling models in 2020, while domestic manufacturers continued to extend their lead. This is because Chinese buyers have different purchasing priorities than Germans. Trends and market opportunities are on show at "Auto China", the world's largest car show with over 1000 exhibitors, which is taking place this week in Shanghai.
