Shortly after German Economy Minister Robert Habeck, Transport Minister Volker Wissing also visited China a few days ago. He signed a Memorandum of Understanding on the data transfer dialogue. In an interview with Felix Lee, Wissing defended himself against public criticism of the agreement. He said it contained „no concrete agreement on how the data transfer will be handled.“ Wissing stressed the importance of dialogue, even in complicated relationships. He rejects the planned EU special tariffs for imported electric cars from China: „Tariffs are not in the interests of our citizens. Because they ultimately have to pay the tariffs.“
