All rightwing fascists are basically the same, it is exhaustingly monotone.

    Marriage of Convenience: How European Far-Right and Far-Left Discovered China

    European far-right and far-left political parties, though ideologically opposed, are finding common ground in their alignments with China, echoing Beijing’s narratives and raising concerns about foreign influence and manipulation.

    It’s a very good analyses, but there are more across the web.

    Let me also thank you for your polite and sophisticated comment.

        Nah, it’s not. This is a very good source.

        But, for you, as you are so friendly and arguing in good faith, I can tell you there is more. In “How Extreme Parties in the European Parliament Can Shape EU-China Relations” (pdf), the Association for International Affairs in Prague provides an excellent analysis with a similar conclusion,

        … Anticipated gains [in future European election] for both far-right and far-left wings […] are likely to favour more China-friendly votes. As these groups increase their representation, the dynamic within the EP [European Parliament] is expected to evolve toward a stance that is less critical of China. This shift could make it increasingly difficult to promote or sustain China-sceptic policies, as the balance of power may tilt towards those advocating for stronger ties with China.

        This shift could manifest in softened rhetoric, reduced support for strong trade or human rights stances against China, and increased advocacy for engagement and cooperation. Such changes would affect the policy debates and resolutions within the European Parliament. As such, understanding these electoral dynamics and their potential impact on EU policies is crucial for stakeholders and policymakers who need to anticipate and respond to the changing geopolitical landscape …

        So, it’s another reason to fight the European far-right and far-left, as both are closely aligned with China and Russia.

        Another sign that there is not much difference between the far-right and the far-left. Maybe the Horseshoe Theory applies? I am not a political scientist, maybe there is one around and can elaborate more.

          Than stop acting so confident about shit that you fundamentally do not understand.

            Ah, picking a sentence out of context and throwing the next offense.

            I understand this here very clear. And the sources are very good.
