    The AfD does everything what it’s being told by the party’s headquarters in Beijing (btw, is AfD chief Alice Weidel still holding her monthly meetings with China’s ambassador to Germany?).

    Such headlines are highly welcomed by propagandists to sow division among Western societies in an attempt to make Europe and its allies look bad (unfortunately, this instance is a fruitful ground if you look, for example, at OP’s post history).

    At the same time, negative news about China are highly censored by the regime in Beijing, which makes it easier for propagandist to frame China as the ‘better’ country.

    Don’t know whether a meaningfully large amount of people believe in these disinformation campaigns, but it doesn’t help to fight climate change, which is inherently a global issue.

    It doesn’t help, of course, the people in China, who have been facing severe storms that brought deaths and destructions in recent months.
