After Russia, Self-Defense leader to visit China

Andrzej Lepper is going to China at the invitation of the Chinese Communist Party to personally examine the world's most dynamic economy. "I would like to see how they do it, how they have achieved such economic growth and such a good foreign trade balance. When one doesn't travel, one does not know how things are elsewhere," explained Lepper. He will be accompanied by, among others, Danuta Hojarska, the first ever serving parliamentary deputy to be convicted on a criminal charge. On his previous foreign trip, Lepper went to Russia and met some of Eastern Europe's most extreme nationalists, such as Borislav Milosevic, brother of former president of Yugoslavia, Slobodan.
