Quick Glance: Investigation of Possible Payments from China and Russia to Maximilian Krah

The General Prosecutor's Office in Dresden has officially initiated investigations against Maximilian Krah due to potential financial flows from Russian and Chinese sources.

The AfD lead candidate for the European Parliament elections, Maximilian Krah, is the subject of two preliminary investigations at the General Prosecutor's Office in Dresden.

Towards the end of last year, Krah was questioned by the FBI about possible payments from Kremlin-related sources, allegedly carrying a four-digit sum of money at that time.

On Monday evening, German authorities arrested Jian G., a close associate of Krah, who is suspected of spying for the Chinese intelligence service in Germany.

Quick Glance: Measures Against TikTok: Biden Sets Deadline for Sale

President Biden has signed legislation requiring ByteDance to fully divest from TikTok within a year or potentially face a nationwide ban.

This action poses a significant challenge to the future of the video-streaming app in the U.S. and escalates the technological conflict between America and China.

TikTok plans to take legal action against the Biden administration, citing concerns that the law could impede the free speech of millions of Americans.

This requirement was incorporated into a bill providing foreign aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, mandating ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok within 12 months under the threat of closure.

Quick Glance: Implications of a TikTok Ban on China's Technology Plans and Global Digital Divide

TikTok is at a critical juncture in America as its Chinese owner must complete the sale of the app within a year to avoid a ban in its largest market.

The potential TikTok ban would not only greatly weaken China's technology ambitions but also deepen the divide between the digital worlds of rival economic superpowers.

The potential enforcement of a TikTok ban could expedite a transformation that divides the world's technological landscape into two factions, one around the US and the other around technologies from China.

Chinese companies and apps operating in the US are encountering increasing challenges as the US government implements measures to restrict the access of Chinese companies to the market.

Quick Glance: EU Raises Stakes With Chinese Medical-Device Probe

The EU launched a probe into Chinese medical-device procurement, prompted by concerns that the government in Beijing unfairly favors domestic suppliers, risking tensions ahead of Xi Jinping's upcoming visit.

The investigation will collect information from companies and member states and must be concluded within nine months. If it confirms a lack of reciprocity, the EU could restrict Chinese access to its tenders.

This move follows a decision last year to begin an anti-subsidy probe into electric vehicles made in China, potentially leading to new tariffs by July.

Chinese leaders have rebutted European and US criticism of market distortion in favor of domestic firms, but doubts persist regarding Beijing's extensive use of public support.
