Sie tragen Spitznamen wie „Deutsche Schwester“ oder „Deutscher Leo“: Influencer aus Deutschland werden in China als Kulturbotschafter wahrgenommen. Da wäre etwa Melina Weber aus Konstanz, die im Qipao-Kleid Jiaozi zubereitet. Oder Michael Bochmann-Tao, der deutsche Geschichte in Sprachkursen erklärt. Sie ziehen aber auch Kritik auf sich.

They have nicknames like "German Sister" or "German Leo": Influencers from Germany are perceived as cultural ambassadors in China. There is Melina Weber from Konstanz, for example, who cooks jiaozi in a qipao dress. Or Michael Bochmann-Tao, who explains German history in language courses. But they also attract criticism.

More and more young Chinese flee the stresses of city life and head for the countryside. The government encourages this trend by creating "beautiful villages" for young creative individuals and by shaping poor farmers into better consumers.

Provenance research is dedicated to the question of how art pieces from other parts of the world arrived in the colonial states. In Berlin, China slowly shifts into focus. The reason for this is that German soldiers stole numerous valuable pieces of art during the Boxer Rebellion. A team of seven German museums, in cooperation with Shanghai University, wants to clarify their origin and whereabouts.
