Thatβs quite surprising to see Maurer there with Putin and Kim Jong-un. Politics can be so complicated sometimes. What do you think Switzerland hopes to gain from this trip?

Switzerland is not at all involved in this stupid old man's trip to China.

Haha, fair enough. Interesting point, from a diplomatic angle, donβt you think even symbolic appearances like this can have implications for how Switzerland is perceived?

Maurer didn't report his trip to China to the Foreign Ministry. The Swiss authorities didn't address it either. Therefore, I don't believe Maurer's private trip will have any consequences for Switzerland. I hope the Chinese keep this idiot.

Thatβs honestly pretty reckless, especially given who he was seen with. Even if it was a private trip, the symbolism is hard to ignore.
