Clickbait headline. It doesn't mention who they mean when they say "China". Is it a high ranking official? Some nobody entrepreneur? It also doesn't say anything about why they might be "court[ing]" the AfD. It's really more about populists doing what populists do and aligning along nationalist lines to the benefit of the national bourgeoisie and the detriment of the American empire. They're right that disintegration with China would be a disaster.
More importantly, the actual article makes the case that it's the AfD who's courting China. The article claims that AfD used to take on a more anti-China rethoric. Now they don't, and say outright they don't wish to do regime change in China. What should be a wakeup call for the right wing coalition to stop being so incompetent, is being sold by Germant State Media as criticism of the far right. Liberal infighting, is what it is.
