DALIAN/TOKYO -- The Federation of German Industries (BDI), Germany's leading business group is worried. "China is one of the most important markets worldwide," said Friedolin Strack, head of the Department of International Markets at BDI, during an interview with Nikkei. "But it is difficult to partner with a powerful nation like China."
He explained that there is too much business in the Chinese market at risk for individual companies to speak out on human rights issues.
