I've did a lot of blue collar work when I was younger and it's really not.

For a lot of office jobs, fewer hours in the workplace means less opportunities for useless meetings that could be emails and useless emails that could have not been sent

It is almost entirely unilateral action by AfD though.

A better article would make AfD look even more perverse by highlighting a key plant of Xi Jinping thought is "ecological civilisation", that China invests heavily in renewables and is building a $1 billion factory in Hungary (from memory) to gain more European green market share.

It could also seek comment from Chinese officials, or even AfD (I didn't see that but might have missed it?)

Since 2016 we've slid into "China bad" reporting, so there's a lot on that.

The reporting is usually pretty weak and facile, and rarely touches some of the real issues over there.

There's no information about that, so presumably given the slant of the article it was an innocuous invitation.

I have tried to find any other references but haven't.

It is not unusual for members of parliament to be invited to other countries, so information needed would include:

  • who specifically invited AfD
  • was this invite open to other parliamentarians
  • what was the nature of their 'invite'
  • was this part of a broader diplomatic program (such as China's invites to EU representatives and diplomats to tour Xinjiang)

China would deal with AfD just like they deal with left, right, far right and theocratic governments and absolute monarchies all over the world.

Let's lay out the events:

  • AfD travels to China
  • AfD says they'll pursue a neutral foreign policy approach with China
  • AfD says their getting twenty percent of the vote has "sparked interest from China"
  • AfD says they'll keep lines of communication open with China

Headline: "China courts Germany's far right populist AfD"
