Markus Söder was traveling in China this week. The trip offered the Bavarian Prime Minister plenty of opportunities for beautiful pictures.

He visited pandas, on the Great Wall of China - and with delicious food. The fact that politician must have his inner spirit to Franz Josef Strauss level to get a visit from the Chinese PM is unusual for the simple prime minister of a federal state, even if he governs Bavaria: because the Chinese prime minister is likely to have a little more power.
