Vcg | Visual China Group | Getty ImagesBEIJING — European businesses in China are revaluating their market plans after this year's Covid controls further isolated the country from the rest of the world, said Joerg Wuttke, president of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China. For European businesses, "we talk about a complete readjustment of our view on China over the last six months," Wuttke told reporters at a briefing for the chamber's annual China position paper, released Wednesday. He said the lockdowns and uncertainty for businesses have turned China into a "closed" and "distinctively different" country that might prompt companies to leave. Foreign businesses can still find specific areas of opportunity. China is improving local market access, albeit in areas where locals already dominate or are "desperate" for foreign investment, Wuttke said.
