Sheet-lightning

At the weekend meeting in the western Chinese city of Xi’an with Wen Jiabao, the Chinese premier, Jürgen Hambrecht, chief executive of BASF, hit out at restrictions on foreign business and complained of foreign companies being forced to transfer business and technological know-how to Chinese companies in exchange for market access. Peter Loescher, chief executive of Siemens, said foreign companies operating in China expect to find equal conditions in the fields of public tenders. BASF and Siemens had combined sales in greater China of more than €9bn last year and employ more than 36,000 people in the area.

The German executives’ comments were made directly to the Chinese premier, and in public, as part of Angela Merkel’s four-day state visit to the country. The German executives’ comments signalled a change of heart for business figures such as Hambrecht who have been vocal cheerleaders for China. Merkel tried to put a positive spin on the encounter.
