There are some changes simplifying business travel from Germany or Austria into China about the current preconditions.
Please see an overview on the current regulations:

Germany:
A PU invitation is no longer necessary to apply for business and assembly visas (category M).
In addition, the quarantine obligation has been shortened to a total of ten days.
Please note that the Chinese consular provider in Germany is only open once a week and therefore the processing time is usually one week.
Currently, the following documents are required for a China business and assembly visa (category M):
- China visa application completed online
- Passport (must be valid for more than 6 months)
- Scan of the passport identification page
- Current passport photo
- Invitation from the company in China
- Letter of posting from the employer
- Corona Vaccination Certificates
- Health Declaration
The responsible consulate reserves the right to request further documents.
Austria
Also in Austria there are some changes making business travel into China more easy.
In addition to the changes regarding PCR testing, abolition of antigen tests and facilitation of flights to China, we would like to inform you that from now on no official PU invitation issued by a local authority in China is required to apply for business visas.
A business invitation issued by the Chinese partner company is sufficient for the application.
