Producer: July 2017: The German government has passed a stricter law for the regulation of technology partnerships. The aim is to prevent Chinese investors from taking over technology of German companies. ÖTEC Haustechnik GmbH in Fürstenwalde, Germany, which has been cooperating with WeNet Powertec from Qingdao for years, feels that the new regulations are patronizing and wishes that politics don’t interfere with economic affairs. Report for CGTN with Berlin correspondent Guy Henderson.
