The far-right populist Alternative for Germany party rejects a values-based foreign policy, just as much as it rejects NATO and the US. That approach has attracted the attention of Beijing.
Serious question, do you? When I criticise the US I do so from a position of knowing how power works between its three branches of government, how the senate works, how local governance works, how elections work, how the courts work. Do you know how China conducts any of these? Do you know how they govern 1.6billion people?
Do you not know what the structure of China is?

It’s a one-party state with all candidates chosen by the party.
It may wear the skin of a democracy, but it is not a democracy.
Democracy is when you vote between red man and blue man, both of whom have the same policies.
Let’s topple all fake democracies. China’s red-blue man owns US’s red and blue men anyway.
According to their respective peoples, China has an infinitely more vibrant and responsive democracy than the United States.
I’d hate to think you’d be so blind to the irony of saying such a thing as ‘wearing the skin of democracy’ if you were living in the west.
Either way I’d be ashamed to act like you have and speak despite having such ignorance about the Chinese system of democracy.
