European companies in China are increasingly afraid of 'arbitrary punishment' amid a more politicized business environment, a European business industry group said on Thursday.

BEIJING - European companies in China are increasingly afraid of “arbitrary punishment” amid a more politicized business environment, a European business industry group said on Thursday.

“Companies are left navigating a political minefield during a health crisis of truly overwhelming proportions,” chamber president Joerg Wuttke said in comments attached to the report, which draws on contributions from working groups, surveys and comments from its more than 1,700 members. The report cited China’s imposition in May of a more than 80% tariff on Australian barley imports, effectively stopping a billion-dollar trade in a move widely viewed as linked to escalating political tensions between Canberra and Beijing.

“Chamber members cannot help wondering if these actions and inactions are indicative of a broader mindset that while foreign capital and technology are desired in China, foreigners themselves are not,” it said.

Stop meddling in internal Chinese affairs and everything will be fine.
