German government blocks sale of Hamburg port logistics firm to Chinese buyers

Original: bundesregierung

The German government has forbidden the sale of a Hamburg port logistics company to Chinese investors, citing security concerns over critical infrastructure. The decision affects Cosco's attempts to expand its stake in port operations and reflects growing Berlin resistance to Chinese investment in strategic assets. Debate is ongoing in Germany about how far to go in restricting foreign ownership of key ports and logistics networks.

Why now: The federal government's block on the sale is fresh news touching on sensitive Germany-China relations and port security.
