That's all fair, but framing the sequence of events as entirely unilateral action by the AfD is just as slanted as the article, and we're better than that.

It is almost entirely unilateral action by AfD though.

A better article would make AfD look even more perverse by highlighting a key plant of Xi Jinping thought is "ecological civilisation", that China invests heavily in renewables and is building a $1 billion factory in Hungary (from memory) to gain more European green market share.

It could also seek comment from Chinese officials, or even AfD (I didn't see that but might have missed it?)
