Since 2016 we've slid into "China bad" reporting, so there's a lot on that.

The reporting is usually pretty weak and facile, and rarely touches some of the real issues over there.

There's no information about that, so presumably given the slant of the article it was an innocuous invitation.

I have tried to find any other references but haven't.

It is not unusual for members of parliament to be invited to other countries, so information needed would include:

  • who specifically invited AfD
  • was this invite open to other parliamentarians
  • what was the nature of their 'invite'
  • was this part of a broader diplomatic program (such as China's invites to EU representatives and diplomats to tour Xinjiang)

China would deal with AfD just like they deal with left, right, far right and theocratic governments and absolute monarchies all over the world.

Let's lay out the events:

  • AfD travels to China
  • AfD says they'll pursue a neutral foreign policy approach with China
  • AfD says their getting twenty percent of the vote has "sparked interest from China"
  • AfD says they'll keep lines of communication open with China

Headline: "China courts Germany's far right populist AfD"

Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it.

Isn't that too harsh? Not in the least.

When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense.
