    I’m obviously not talking about merely MEETING with them.

        You said “shaking hands” which is something people do when they meet

        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:

            [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?

            Pushing for stronger ties:

            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.
