Is everything world news on lemmy about China? Like I've seen everything from crap articles saying China has a declining population like its a bad thing, or how the west looks like shit compared.

Like, it's nothing racist or offensive. Not to me at least. Just lots and lots of it being the primary topic in ways that I'm ain't too familiar with.

China is very active player and driving up events, especially as they may be working with nazi wannabes in the German government

Nazi wannabes with 13% of the vote...

I mean, it's not like China is only working with AfB. They recently invited School to Beijing.

AfD holds multiple municipal seats and Hitler never won an election (he got about 36.7% in 1932). The Nazis took over because liberals (specifically Hindenburg and co) appointed Hitler and then Hitler was able to take over when Hindenburg died in part thanks to paramilitary support. Just worth noting for gauging AfD's distance from potential takeover.

I highly doubt that the PRC wants them in charge or wants to help them get there, though.
