Andrea Hideg has just returned from a trip to Shanghai. „Finally, it was possible again,“ says the 42-year-old. She is happy that she can visit China again after the comprehensive travel ban during the COVID-19 period. As the head of the East Asia department for the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (DIHK), local exchange is particularly important to her. Many German companies are unsure how to deal with the People’s Republic of China in the future, explains Hideg.
