The communist leadership has big plans for China.

It wants to make the country a global technology leader, build its own national champions and thus become more independent of imports than before.

This is what the new five-year plan provides, which the National People's Congress, the country's bogus parliament, should approve this month.

Beijing's plan to divide the economy into a favored inner and outer circle in the future is a return to one's own strengths. A lot is at stake for German companies because they are even more dependent on China after Corona than before.
