Erstmals hat Huawei seine Smartphone-Pole-Position in China an den Konkurrenten Oppo abtreten müssen. Das Unternehmen aus Guangzhou gehört seit vergangenem Jahr zu den fünf größten Smartphone-Herstellern der Welt. Allerdings hat Oppo das nicht ganz aus eigenen Kraft geschafft. Die US-Sanktionen gegen Huawei haben geholfen. Während Huawei versucht jenseits der Smartphones neue Märkte. zu erschließen, will Oppo nun auch in Deutschland Fuß fassen.

In the annexes to the investment agreement between the EU and China, there is also a paragraph dealing with NGOs in the People's Republic. The fact that such a passage can be found in the CAI comes as a surprise to politicians and those affected. Not only is it similar to the already strict NGO law of 2017, but China also reserves the right to fill leading positions with Chinese. There is also criticism of the fact that foreign investment for non-profit projects in China is still prohibited. For more on the impact of the agreement on German and European market participants, see our China.Table analyses on the CAI.
