A trial has commenced in Dresden, Germany, involving a former aide to Maximilian Krah, a politician from the far-right AfD party. The aide is accused of spying for China since 2002. German prosecutors allege that the espionage activities targeted Germany's political, economic, and military sectors. The trial is expected to shed light on the extent of Chinese intelligence operations within Germany and their potential impact on national security. The case has sparked concerns about foreign interference in German politics and the vulnerability of political figures to espionage attempts.
