According to the latest data, the German government will introduce new sanctions against China in the near future. According to sources, the sanctions will be introduced no later than May 18 this year.

The sanctions are expected to affect at least two chemical companies and one electrical engineering company in Germany, which are suspected of violating international agreements and production standards. In particular, companies may be involved in the use of prohibited substances and materials in production.

German government officials have not yet commented on the details of the new sanctions, but sources say they could negatively affect relations between the two countries and trade relations in general.

Observers note that this is not the first time that Germany has decided to impose sanctions against China. Earlier, in connection with allegations of human rights violations and repression against the Uyghurs, the German government also introduced a number of restrictive measures against China.
