German police have arrested an employee of an Alternative for Germany (AfD) politician in the eastern German city of Dresden on suspicion of espionage for China, broadcasters ARD, RBB and SWR reported on Tuesday.
The employee, Jian G, worked as an assistant for the AfD’s top candidate in the European Parliament elections, Maximilian Krah, and lived in Brussels as well as Dresden, according to the broadcasters.
Investigators suspect that he passed on information on parliamentary operations to China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), with a particular focus on Chinese opposition members, said the report.
AfD, in bed with the chinese AND the russians.
China and Russia, the alternative for Germany.
See? The AfD is very diverse, very progressive.
Meanwhile Mr G’s employer, Maximilian Krah, was questioned by the FBI about receiving funds from Russia. (https://www.yahoo.com/news/media-fbi-questioned-far-german-162002153.html)
When will the EU finally realise that Russia and China is waging an information war against us? Yet we let their billionaires buy up our real estate, our companies deal with them, and we allow their products into our markets.
Is there anything we don’t let our billionaires do?
Pay taxes
And 1/4th of young people willing to vote for those xenophobic traitors.
That’s what you get for the entire political spectrum shitting on the interests of young people, while also normalising xenophobic bullshit by parroting those xenophobic traitors’ rhetoric to fish for votes.
If you’re young & worried about the future, then rooting for climate change denying morons is not the best course of action either. Especially when they literally admitted that “the worse Germany is doing, the better for the AfD”. I’m sure the AfD would love a few million climate refugees and a destabilized society.
Of course it’s not a good idea. I’d even say it’s fucking stupid. The only ones who would possibly benefit from those morons getting into power are a few very rich old people. The problem is that the entire political system has been very busy in the last few decades to manufacture a social climate in which those Nazi morons can thrive.
Ahh the good old conservative right, never missing an opportunity to make things worse for everyone.
AfD is not “conservative right”. AfD is anarchokapitalism with fascist rhetoric
I would personally put “populist, authoritarian, eurosceptic, anti-immigration, protectionist, deregulation-loving” under “conservative right”.
But pretty far right, and only slightly conservative.
That’s what I mean by fascist rhetoric. Their election program is more economically libertarian than the FDP though.
This happens when you vote for the far-right. They sabotage your country.
An example how the Chinese government is using espionage in its own country.
10 ‘spy’ cases China’s Ministry of State Security wants you to know about
In most of the world 15 April goes unnoticed. But in China, 15 April is Chinese National Security Education Day.
To mark the occasion, China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) posted a half-hour video on their official WeChat channel titled “Innovation Leads · Forging the Sword of National Security”. WeChat is China’s dominant social media app. Chinese and foreign media also covered the program’s release.
Here is an alternative link to the video posted in the article: https://invidious.protokolla.fi/watch?v=z8qdFHT9t3k
