Germany stops planned sale of Volkswagen's gas turbine business to China

Germany's cabinet blocked the sale of MAN Energy Solutions' gas turbine business to a Chinese company for security reasons amid EU-China trade tensions. Concerns over national security implications led to the decision, with fears that China could use the turbines for military purposes. Both Germany and the EU aim to reduce risks from economic ties with Beijing. China opposes the politicization of business cooperation and hopes for a fair business environment.
