months, months after the law took effect in germany were take a look at how difficult it is to ensure supply chains, stay free of human rights violations. the chinese province of changing and a dip despite the drugs will take you to france, where the number of swimming pools keeps increasing, despite a severe water shortage. i'm chris cobra. welcome to the program. a 3 day visit, full of high expectations, french president, a man i'm a crown touch down in beijing on wednesday for head of the talks with chinese officials in a meeting with chinese leader, cg ping on thursday. i on the agenda is rushes worn ukraine and what role china a longstanding ally of the kremlin, could do to end it. but mister macross said he will also try to rebalance europe's economic ties with china while emphasizing that despite deteriorating relations between beijing and washington, the in, you must not this associate with china entre looking for bernice. this is

true. we must not the naive act on our european union will taking the step of european sovereignty that i defended 5 years ago is establishing trade defense instruments don't get unnecessary for our credibility. but you must also be voluntarily committed to continuing to have a trait relationship with china. and so we must, in a way that de risk our economies never be fully dependent on another country or not . but we must not dis, associate ourselves and separate ourselves in a logic that what suggests that ultimately we are meant to do nothing together anymore. there are right or more no spring in the w, china analyst, your chin lea, a huge and the french president does not want europe to decouple from china. but once a reset of economic relations, how well i would say it's very unlikely for countries

to really decouple from china since, as everybody and the one that was china is the 2nd largest economy in the world. so the thing that you wrote in countries can probably do is to urge their business van to, to suppliers in other countries and probably move their production life out of china . just so flight what apple is trying to do. and as i talked to the expert before, and they also suggest that it should be easier for a country like like europe to lifestar with some like medium and small sizes of companies rather than enterprises. and the guffman should also do more incentive to like give business man the environment to do so. now this idea that mr. shaw has proposed there. how's that going down in beijing? well, beijing definitely has a confidence that he believes that these,

these countries will not complete cut economic ties with china. so like macros visit to china is paging the, the competence and the opportunity to enhance those high, even more. and you know, like the some officials in china already said that it is very well when you're welcome and expand more investment in friends. but the french government has to overcome, you know, why intervention from 3rd parties and also like provide can they are transparent business market environment when actually friends, invest way more in china than the other way around. so no decoupling likely there at the same time, we see it growing tension between china and the west. it seems that more companies are adopting a china plus one strategy, meaning that they're setting up additional a british know production site outside of china. but within the region, where do they go these companies when they do that?

the popular options now are india in south east asian countries such as indonesia, malaysia, and like to be in them. and so we can see a lot of clothes and shoes are made in via them electronic devices in india and pilot. but one thing that should be mentioned is actually china's role in international supply chain would then be replaced overnight, which is supposed to be a slow process. w, usually, thank you very much. so europe must resist a roading trade with china. the french president says, but attitudes and priorities within some e countries and their governments have shifted the german supply chain act as a symbol of that shift. in fact, since the beginning of the year, it forces german companies to keep their supply chains free of human rights violations. but how can this law be implemented? in regions where corrosion and oppression are commonplace. for example,

in the chinese province of changing b, approaching jung, the muslim majority province in the far west of china. we are in a sense that if research trip journalists are not welcome in this region, the muslim wheelers and other minorities are being systematically oppressed here. satellite images of camps and secretly recorded videos suggests that at times one and a half 1000000 people were imprisoned we want to go to a camp in the north of the region, but we intercepted by the police at the airport. the officers take our personal details and photograph our passports i have yet. 7 here into ching on the border to cast on ebay kit or to buy was locked up in a camp 6 years ago. he was accused of downloading what's app onto his mobile phone

with the so called supply chain act, which came to force on january 1st. companies are required to check all stages of the production for social and environmental standards including forced labor. but how can this be implemented in china, especially since the region is almost irreplaceable for the german energy transition. the wolf largest solar panel, material manufacturers are based here take jenko. so our satellite images show to huge warehouses just a few 100 meters from the solar company. back in beijing, we're meeting a representative of german industry. he has little hope that the new law will end, forced labor is good, can there's no 100 percent certainty. companies can use some tools that are available. they can do audits, for example, and immense health disclosures and codes of conduct from their suppliers. but only where it's possible. i haven't quoted thief. we get nowhere with our research.
