Why is Switzerland refusing to follow EU sanctions on China? In an interview with swissinfo.ch on 3 October 2023 Ralph Weber analyzes Switzerland's China policy. In 2022, the Swiss government decided not to join the EU-sanctions on China and was recently criticized for not communicating it publicly.
