i heard this begin for many european companies who have witnessed 1st hand this shift towards security and away from the logic of open markets and free trade. and to strengthen that security and control leverage. china is openly pursuing a policy of reducing it's dependency on the world. that's completely okay. that's there, right? but while increasing the world's dependency on itself, you know the examples, for example, whether it's on critical raw materials on the renewable energy on emerging text like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, or biotech. honorable members. having this clear eyed assessment of the chinese communist parties, actions and direction of travel, actually including its relations with put in russia and its attitude towards the

war. and ukraine is a pre requisite for today's discussion. and it will allow us to develop an approach that is tailored to our economic and national security imperative. one that we all can rally around and one that is clearly understood in europe, in the world. and crucially also in china itself. and this last point is one of the key reasons i felt it was important to make the trip to begging alongside president michael. it was a chance to discuss with president she the share challenges that we need to work on together. whether in our bilateral trading relation or on global issues like dept relief, climate change and nuclear nonproliferation. but equally important, the trip was necessary to ensure that we are as honest and clear now messaging

in b g as we are in brussels or here in stressful. this is a core part of our efforts to de risk through diplomacy. by reducing the space for misunderstanding and miscommunication, regardless of how difficult the conversations may be. the point i made engaging is that we do not want to cut economic, societal, political, and scientific ties. we have many strong links and shine as a vital trading partner. i'll trade re presents represented some 2300000000 euros a day. most stuff our trade in goods and services remains mutually beneficial. but that is an urgent need to re balance our relationship. on the basis of transparency, predictability,

and reciprocity. what we want is china to respect the level playing field when it comes to access for our companies to the chinese market, to respect transparency about subsidies, to respect the intellectual property. and beyond this, we also know that there are some areas where trade and investment poses risks to our economic and national security. particular in the context of china's explicit fusion of its military and commercial sectors. and this is why the central part of our future china strategy must be economic d, risking there for areas for us to work on, which i want very briefly to touch on. the 1st is taking a critical look at our own resilience and dependency and making our own economy and

industry more competitive and more resilient. and this is the work we have been doing together, you know, it, it began in the investment in the green and the digital through next generation that you to the pillars of our industrial policy and the land marked x, you know, to, it's the chips act, it it's a critical raw materials act, and it's the net 0 industry act and lead a signed up to it in that side during the french presidency. so now we must keep strengthening our resilience and serenity and key areas, you know them all. it's energy, it's health in pharmaceutical products. it's food security, but also of course, when it comes to our defense capabilities, the 2nd find is becoming bolger and better in using our existing trade defense instruments. we have given ourselves the right tools to deal with security concern and economic distortions. so we must be more assertive

in using them when we need them. and i want to take this opportunity to thank the parliament for its leadership and agreeing on the new anti coercion instrument just a few weeks ago. the 3rd element is the lead to look at where we need to work on new tools for some critical sectors. we need to ensure that our company's capital, the expertise than knowledge are not used to enhance the military and intelligence cap capabilities of those who also are our systemic rivals that can not be so we have to look at where there are gaps in our tool box which allow the leakage of emerging and sensitive technologies to investments in

other countries. and this is why we are currently reflecting on if and how europe should develop an instrument on outbound investment for very small number, but very sensitive technologies. this will form part of a new economic security strategy, which the commission will put forward in the coming months. the force principle is cooperation with partners. with an economy security on trade. whether with partners, we are close to the g 7, all with those with whom we have looser ties, but some shared interests. this will be a core part of diversification and the strengthening of the resilience of our supply chains to reduce our own vulnerabilities. unable members, as the high representative said, in 2019, the commission and the

e. a s collectively proposed the strategic update of our china policy. since then, the world has changed enormously. china has changed. europe has changed. and that's why our european strategy has to adapt to a few weeks ago when i gave my speech on china. i said, a strong european china policy relies on strong coordination between member states and you and see to oceans. and on the willingness to avoid a divide and conquer tactics that we know we may face. we have already in the recent days and weeks seen those tactics in action. and it is now time for europe to move to action. to now is the time to demonstrate our

collective will it is time to jointly defined what success looks like and to show that unity that makes us so strong. and in this sense, i say, long live europe. thank you. you didn't. ursula found a line speaking to the parliament on policy toward china. she has talked about managing relations, the risking not decoupling. she mentioned that china was moving toward an era of security and control. joining us now is dw correspondent lucia shelton, who followed that address in strasburg. lucia, what did we make of how funder line was framing e relations with china now going forward? yeah, she repeated and i think there was quite a strong message to the members stage. so she repeated that the european union needs

a strategy towards china and her strategy. and her proposal is the de risking it is managing the relations with china, not stopping the relations for china with managing them. she said, and that stood out to me that china is becoming more and more independent from other states, re looking for creating dependencies with the other states. so the european union is trying to kind of get more resilient and this is what was a laugh underlined once the european union to do so. they are looking into different trade means, or where there can be, where better, like hold back, better against china, how they see it here. and also, and she was very clear and saying that it is important to be very clear in the messaging towards china. and this was the reason why she went there, that there would be no misunderstandings, but that it would be important to say what the european union wants to do. and this is what she said she did. and now she calls upon the member states to develop

a common strategy in the china trade relations, but it is a very fine lie. then there has been some controversy about the extent to which china should be seen as a rival of the e. you walk us through funder lines position in that regard. yeah, they say here that the european, the european union says about china, it's a partner, a competitor, and a systemic rival. and the way that it was a life on the line sees to seems to perceive this is that they can manage this and that it depends on if they become more systemic rival that this is a risk they can take by the risking these relationships. and she has also been mentioning that the european union has to be very careful that technologies that they are developing or that they're using are not going to be used by this. is tammy rival in a way against the european union? so this seems to be the underlying fear of the european union,

and this is why they, they want to have tools that prevent this french president a manual ma crown recently insisting that china should be above all seen as an economic partner of the e u. r. china being by far the most important e u, trading partner, just walk us through, you know, some of the tensions within the e o itself when it comes to finding a common foreign policy on china. it is, it is not very easy because different member stages. i just said it, different member states have different interest in their foreign affairs. the terrain, for example, has been in this bad this china over time on this. these are the foreign policy issues. if you're going to have to differentiate between foreign policy. rather, european union has not for competence and trade relations, where it is the u commission, who is fully competent of,

or not completely fully competent, but to a very large degree, competent to create or to develop these trade relations. so you, i would say you have to differentiate a bit at the same time was left on the line, also points out that what china is doing, for example, which i know doing in russia is a pre requisition for all of the relations that the european union will also have their trade relations, so it's not completely to be seen different in a different way. but in, at the end of the day when it comes to foreign policy, it is up to the member states and their own interests, how they want to shape their relation. so see what, what is before now the european parliament, when it comes to what funder line was just discussing. so the european parliament is of course, interested in listening to what was left on the line has to say after a trip, it has been a trip that has also been widely discussed in media. there has been

a lot of saying about that. my call has been treated much better. he was treated much friendlier because he was doing trade. he was doing business there as it was, an f one airline was put a bit aside. i would like to point out that for enough underline, this was a rec trip, as she also just said this. now, her reasoning for going was to send a clear message of how they would want to shape the relations between the european union and china in the coming years. and this, this was her reasoning for going that the european parliament will be interested in hearing her position and will have to play the role as well. because what was left underlying is proposing different different legislation, for example, on the raw materials. the european parliament will have to, to give their final vote on this as well. lucy shelton, in strasburg. thank you. and here's a reminder of the top story that we're following for you at this hour. u. s. secretary said, entity lincoln has spoken by phone with each of sedans,

warring generals urging them to reach a ceasefire. 2 and days of bloodshed. the un says that at least 185 people have died in the violence which began on saturday. european commission president are still a funder line, has warned that europe needs to have a clear eyed view of the risks and the opportunities in dealing with china in a speech to the european parliament. she said decoupling from china was not an option here to date. thanks for watching and guardians of truth. my name is john kinda and i have paid almost every price of being a journalist in a country like to a key taking on the powers that be they risk everything.

john, do dar asked activists, journalists and politicians living in exile with too much on my shoulders. but i have to hold this weight because i'm responsible for the future fall country for the people who are behind the bus they leave for their mission. people need to know what is happening in our series guardians of truth watch know on youtube, d. w documentary ah, the world's largest industrial trade show get underway in hanover, was developments and artificial intelligence, front and center. our reporter is standing by to tell us about the latest the innovations in an industry that's developing breakneck speed. also coming out, we'll show you how a single invention is helping to keep the ancient art of cloth dying alive in

indonesia. this is dw business on kate ferguson. thanks for joining me. the world's largest industrial trade show is underway in however, it's the 1st time the event has taken place in its full form. since the pandemic over $4000.00 exhibitors are taking part showcasing the latest innovations in artificial intelligence, climate friendly technologies, and industrial engineering. it's taking place against the backdrop of a fierce debase of the speed of development in a i, on the question of how best to regulate that technology. and we're going to speak a little bit more about artificial intelligence with nicole. it look now she's that cd o of moronic. hi, nicole of the to have you here. now we're going to be hearing a little bit more about the innovations on display at hanover,

a little bit later. but i want to ask you for a civil, a lot of people are genuinely afraid that a i is about to replace them in their jobs. what would you say to them? i would say that obviously within us, which is jennifer. i model a lot of the creative industry, right? kind of thought, hey, traditionally, if the human task, how can the computer and algorithms list those are typically people who feed on the threat. i feel not an algorithm will replace you, but the person who will use the algorithm to augment their own work. so it is, it is more we need to master these tools to use them effectively in our everyday life. it will probably also affect the future, but mainly talk so we can all use it as an augmentation rather than a replacement. okay, but i have to say at the same time, there is really broad consensus, even among industry insiders, that we need regulation and we need at 51 of your take on that.

i agree that we need to think about the risks of artificial intelligence and some of these topics, i mean, effect elections, effect information, effect bias, effect data, privacy is the truck. i feel the best way to state where the technology is going is also to create some of it. so to be honest, the more a tory that have be mentioned, i find them naive in a way that you can just put technology back in a box. i feel the most effective way to shape it and to think about how can we regulate and in an appropriate way. and also, for example, governments can become stakeholders and shareholders and this technology by investing in them. and that means you have a seat at the table automatically in addition to, of course, finding a legal framework for what is okay and what does not okay to do when a call given some of those changes, we're talking about things like the spite of misinformation of bias deep phase,

the potential of job losses. how do you stay a tech optimist? while i look at the opportunities every technology and advance in the you can depends on the purpose you use this for. and i understand that of fighting for risks, but we should also have a mandate to look at the opportunities and when i look at the opportunities in health care in education and in other ways to kind of get rid of some tasks that amine yellow to increase the impact of, of health care solutions provide access to people who currently don't have access. i just feel they outweigh the disadvantages and risks by far. and i still optimistic human work. i think the systems that overall humanities trying to make this for the better play, all right, at optimistic no to and they called the ceo up around take. thank you so much. thank. let's take you right into the middle of the accident in hanover. i reported

matters richmond has been doing the ryan's not as you are right in the thick of things. tell me about the latest innovations in a i that you're seeing at hanover well, one of a mess are really shines of bringing together the real world things of industry and virtual worlds. and there's actually one thing i wanted to show you is this 3 d scanner that you can use to just create a 3 d image of this industrial component. and what a does, it allows companies to really scale their production because they can cut in ways because they can measure more often as they go along in the production process. and this company doesn't just have this as a small piece. they also have it as a large application of a robot that right now scanning actually a car door and is assisted by laser technology to achieve this bridge between the real world and virtual worlds. okay,

so that's an interesting example of more industrial application because we've heard so much of by generative ai it's nice to see the other side to see what's happening on factory floors as well. now i really want to ask you about germany. the trade ferry is kind of term institutions you can really say, but some business leaders have been criticizing jeremy, saying the country is no longer an attractive destination for innovation. what is your take on that? do they have a point? i mean, we are hearing hear from people at the fair that especially where you know, a red tape is concerned and bureaucracy. germany has a lot to learn and, and increase their efficiency in an innovation. now, chances schoultz at his opening remarks on sunday has really pledged to cut red tape, especially in, you know, in industrial production and, and really working on that. but one thing he's remained silent on is as subsidies

race as going on with the united states. as we speak, where the u. s. is trying to on shore, and especially electronic vehicles, production to the u. s. and brain green technologies there and germany hasn't really kept its pace there so far. okay. i want to talk to you about indonesia as well because indonesia is the partner country athens years event on. it's been on a bit of a buying spring. how can i tell you about that? yeah, so the president of and anesha you can, we don't actually was at the opening on sunday as well. and indonesia is very rich and in net for resources. gold and nickel which is used for battery production. and the chemicals giant p. s f. and the automated volkswagen are in discussion with the news in the government to increase or an investment in indonesia extend and he doesn't just want to be the the mind for the west. they actually want to bring investment there and create jobs that do the dons from production and manufacturing

of vehicles and the batteries that are used for politic price vehicles. so there's a lot going on here at the fair, especially with investments globally. and you'll be keeping us up today throughout the week, not to think one of the hanover trade. thank you so much. now, while indonesia is showcasing its power in digital innovation of hanover, the country is also well known for its ancient crafts. the technique of batik involved using wax to die cloth. it's a long and labor intensive process, and in some regions at risk of dying out there next to force will meet an engineer who's come up with an innovative solution to ensure his families batik business moves with the times. the melted wax is ready using counting a traditional pen like tool. this hot substance known as milan is inscribed on a piece of cloth. despotic technique requires high precision and typically needs

between 2 and 3 months to finish. one piece andy city are so understands the struggles to maintain this artisan old technique. when he took over his family bout teak business, he encountered challenges with production and market competition. family up a. nick bon bonded by think mon while there are many challenges in making hand made by cheek 1st lead batches, artists are becoming scarce. the younger generation who once liked to making batik, are now hard to find people besides lat, batik printing appeared, which does not follow the standard handmaid process. the young got money will be back on, but the the entrepreneur is based in the province of yoga carta on the island of java. unesco has recognized the craft of batik as an intangible cultural heritage. for andy, it's important to maintain the uniqueness of this production style as

a solution, and he invented a batik machine, which he's named bertino. the idea was to create this by tick drawing machine in line with his professional standards. joe bur marco company research how to design the technology for use in the basic process. i was hoping by using this technology, the basic process can be faster and more productive. and now it can be reduced to a matter of days. so that's what we're trying to do, and we hope that in the future back will be more competitive in the market. they're going to buy the above, it will be home. but if, if the boss budget exports in indonesia have great potential. having already reached more than $500000000.00 us dollars each a coyote has purchased a machine. she's a bad take entrepreneur who has been in business since 2010. by using the beauty mom machine, batek production is far more efficient. she says it can reduce production costs by 30 percent coming to get the that we can't get rid of traditional makers. because

even though we have these machines, we still need them for special complicated jobs. usually when making lines under half a millimeter. for example, the granite motif batek, this motif requires dots though the motif looks like a line um would be an iep of granny, letting the human element work alongside beauty. mo machines is also in line with andy city are so's goal of helping this handicraft be appreciated. for years to come now to some of the other global business stories making news, germany's industry association says the country is risk of becoming less competitive. the bd, i says german act 4th will lose market share this year and that hi alex with the bills are pushing an increasing number of german companies to make investments outside the country. it's calling for energy to become more affordable with german industrial giant. siemens have been awarded a contract worth more than 300000000 euros to make thing of course,

longest metro line driverless the company will equip the line with signaling technology, platform, screen doors. siemens metro automation is already used in singapore, brazil, among other countries. and a reminder of our top story, the world's largest industrial trade show is underway in hon over germany. it's the 1st time the event has taken place in its full form since the pandemic over $4000.00 exhibitors are taking part. so casing the latest innovations and our special intelligence, climate friendly technology, industrial engineering that wraps up our show for more. you can always check out d, w dot com slash business. we're also on the dw youtube channel, do tech aside there for me. i'm the entire business team here in berlin. it's good bye. ah
