Isn't everything political these days? Advocating against govt backdoors is "political". Advocating for LGBT rights is "political". Joining WIPO is political, because they clearly want to influence how intellectual property laws are developed/written.

I imagine this article doesn’t include the whole story and is probably biased. Perhaps China was more specific about whatever Wikimedia did.
