At the beginning of March, the People's Republic of China briefly banned the import of pineapples from Taiwan. The Taiwanese feel that they are being picked on by Beijing and launch a successful counter-campaign.

China soll weiter digitalisiert werden - auch unter der Erde. Wie das gehen soll, zeigt das erste Innovationslabor in der kohlereichen Provinz Shanxi: Vollautomatisierte Minen könnten nicht nur Grubenunglücke vermeiden, sondern auch die Produktivität steigern - und so China von Rohstoffimporten unabhängiger machen. Zudem könnte die Technologie auch die Länder der Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) versorgen, deren Bergbau meist noch rückständig ist.

The European draft for a supply chain law goes further than the German approach – but some questions of detail are still open. Some MEPs are calling for an additional import ban on products from forced labor. For goods from the Chinese province of Xinjiang, the control of the specifications could become problematic.

China is to be further digitized – even underground. The first innovation laboratory in the coal-rich province of Shanxi shows how this can be done: Fully automated mines could not only prevent mining accidents but also increase productivity – and thus make China less dependent on raw material imports. In addition, the technology could also supply the countries of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), whose mining sector is mostly still backward.

When the cameras pan to President Xi Jinping at the National People's Congress, six men are visible to his left and right. They are between sixty and seventy years old and belong to the most powerful body in the state: the Standing Committee of the Communist Party's Politburo. The concentration of power on Xi makes their appearance fade somewhat, but nevertheless: Everyone in this exclusive circle plays a clear role in steering the party, developing its ideology, and thus ensuring its hold on power.

China will seine Finanzmärkte mit dem 14. Fünfjahresplan solider machen und die Regionalregierungen sowie die Wirtschaft von der hohen Verschuldung herunterbringen. Zudem soll das Risiko von Blasen sinken. Kann das gelingen, ohne die Dynamik an den Märkten zu bremsen?

China wants to make its financial markets more solid with the 14th Five-Year Plan and bring the regional governments and the economy down from high debt levels. It also aims to reduce the risk of bubbles. Can this be achieved without slowing down the momentum on the markets?
