facepalm

Never let a good tragedy go to waste.

Oligarch propaganda.

Say it, corporate news sewers.

Oh, right.

Of course they do. Right wing journalists are running out of kleenex here in France. Between blaming the left and labelling this a "pre-civil war" it is starting to sound like someone just translated Trump into French, their wrists must be so sore.

Yes, and we must again say that the European far-right is highly aligned with Trump's US, Russia, and China.

Trump and Russia yes, but I'm not aware of a general pro-China bent among them.

oh so eu is going to be as fash as they always are haha

I knew it. Far-right paid Agitators hijacked the peaceful Protests.

notice how they/ and the msm are only showing the looting and rioting, but not the actual protest itself.

Alice Weidel, the head of Germany's far-right AfD who lived in China for six years, has close ties to China. Not long ago she admitted to frequently met Wu Keng, who was China's ambassador to Germany from 2019 to 2024. When the meeting became public, Weidel said that after Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine, she wanted to get "an idea of the Chinese position". These meetings were not included in her calendar and were supposed to remain secret. It is unclear whether or not they still take place.

Just last year ago, an aide of Germany's far-right AfD politician Maximilian Krah was convicted of spying for China.

These are two examples. There are many more with extremist groups of both sides. As one report wrote not long ago, it is a Marriage of Convenience: How the European Far Right and Far Left Converged on China,

Both extremes of Europe’s political spectrum are finding common ground in their alignments with China, raising concerns about foreign influence.

That's Germany, what about the rest of Europe. I put "general" there for a reason.

I provided a link. It's not even 'only' the far-right but also the far-left. Chinese interference is a well-known fact, and not only in Europe.

That link doesn't work.

Edit: Okay salvaged it and it has almost zero concrete information. At the very least you or your source need to be able to actually name the far-right parties in question. I suspect that in order to be able to do so you'd at least have to look for sources that don't indulge in horseshoe theory bullshit.

The link works fine here. And the article names several examples.

You'll find numerous more across the web. A policy paper from May 2026, Borrowed mouths and laundered messages: China’s influence playbook in Europe (pdf), is another one.

From Classrooms to Newsrooms: The Conduits of Chinese FIMI in the Western Balkans is analyzing China's foreign interference for this particular region.
