Stunned but not surprised to see people ignoring AfD's close ties to China in their coverage of the far-right German party's historic victory this weekend.
AfD accused Germany of launching "economic war" against China, and is critical of restrictions against Huawei.
AfD's co-chair Alice Weidel spent six years in China, speaks excellent Mandarin, and speaks almost exclusively positively about China.
A senior aide to an AfD politician was convicted of spying for Chinese intelligence, after passing hundreds of European Parliament documents to Beijing.
This is crucial information about AfD and it belongs in every story about the party.
