The far-right populist Alternative for Germany party rejects a values-based foreign policy, just as much as it rejects NATO and the US. That approach has attracted the attention of Beijing.
Why else would the Chinese meet with a runner-up party? The article clearly says AfD is hoping for stronger connections with China. This is just another case of fascists working with fascists.
They’re already having each others’ back, the nazi bitch with CCP connections is straight up defending China:
[AfD co-leader] Weidel herself knows the People’s Republic of China very well. She spent six years living there on a German Academic Exchange Service scholarship and completed her doctorate on the Chinese pension system
She has also ridiculed German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock’s criticism of the human rights situation in China.
“God help us: Baerbock is on a new mission in #China. She wants to emphasize the ‘shared European conviction.’ This already fails because it is not only #France which does not share this conviction…”
“Blood and soil” nationalism, Han chinese supremacy, xenophobia and some of the most closed borders in the world, repression of minorities and political dissidents, etc. etc. etc. etc.
“Why else would the Chinese meet with a runner-up party?”
there are over a billion Chinese, I don’t know the motivations all of them have. Where is your proof that anyone with importance in the gov wants to meet with AfD?
The AfD has positioned itself in opposition to the German government’s critical policy toward China […] “attempt to implement green-woke ideology and US geopolitical interests under the guise of a strategy for German foreign policy”
For AfD, human rights criticism ‘totally irrelevant’
Geopolitically, said Schroeder, the AfD sees the traditional Western ties with the United States, which it regards as hegemonic, as having past their use-by date.
AfD ‘understands, accepts Chinese way of governing’
Frankly, the only difference between the fascist AfD and the fascist CCP is the AfD claims to support democracy and rule of law.
I understand that the AfD wants closer ties with China.
But there is no evidence that the Chinese gov wants closer ties with AfD, where do you think you’re getting that from?
oh that answers the question then I’m sure theres absolutely no ambiguity in the term “officials” the article doesn’t even say if they’re government officials or business officials or sports officials
edit: it doesn’t even call them “Chinese officials” it just says that the party “traveled to China — on an official invitation” wtf does that mean it could mean a lot of things and we still have no idea who sent the official invitation
It’s also an expression, but I don’t expect you Hexbearians to understand that.
They’re obviously courting them. Because the far-right wants to cooperate with Xi more than any other mainstream party.
“They’re obviously courting them. Because the far-right wants to cooperate with Xi more than any other mainstream party."
so you’re just operating under a set of assumptions that you came up with based on nothing.
Ok
Why else would the Chinese meet with a runner-up party? The article clearly says AfD is hoping for stronger connections with China. This is just another case of fascists working with fascists.
They’re already having each others’ back, the nazi bitch with CCP connections is straight up defending China:
Please explain what by criteria China are fascist
“Blood and soil” nationalism, Han chinese supremacy, xenophobia and some of the most closed borders in the world, repression of minorities and political dissidents, etc. etc. etc. etc.
Blood and soil in China? What on earth are you referencing
Not my job to educate the uneducated.
you sure are giving it your best though
“Why else would the Chinese meet with a runner-up party?” there are over a billion Chinese, I don’t know the motivations all of them have. Where is your proof that anyone with importance in the gov wants to meet with AfD?
She travelled to fucking Beijing to meet with party officials. But yeah I’m sure random ass nobodies invited her.
the article seems purposely vague about who invited them and you are just filling in the gaps with western propaganda
Pushing for stronger ties:
Frankly, the only difference between the fascist AfD and the fascist CCP is the AfD claims to support democracy and rule of law.
I am once again asking liberals to learn that fascism doesn’t mean “something I don’t like”
I understand that the AfD wants closer ties with China. But there is no evidence that the Chinese gov wants closer ties with AfD, where do you think you’re getting that from?
Yeah they totally just invited their fellow fascists over for funzies.
who made the invitation? who did they meet with? you have now idea, the person who wrote this article has no idea
Chinese OFFICIALS idiot.
oh that answers the question then I’m sure theres absolutely no ambiguity in the term “officials” the article doesn’t even say if they’re government officials or business officials or sports officials
