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"

Probably a key piece of context is that they were invited

I mean... It's not like there's not a standing invitation for Germany's current government. Is building diplomatic ties not permissible if the party isn't currently in power?

Better fucking tell the Republicans to get out of Canadian politics, then.
