MODERATORS
Of all the countries China decides to get bold with they pick Hungary, fuckin fascist-ass surrounded by NATO-ass Hungary
Mf the middle east is staring you right in the face
Chinese foreign policy not even once
China doesnt decide what EU countries to get bold with, they are responding to interest and oppeness to investing and collaboration from EU countries. They wont reject much. If Germany, Portugal or idk Italy were as or more willing then China would have the same engagment as them. Same with the ME that they work with a lot vs less so. Hungary being the less anti-China EU country or better put the EU country that tries to take a more balanced stance in the emerging multipolar world only reflects bad on the rest of the EU
i think they're using hungary as their way into the EU markets? but yeah... why pick us?
They choose Hungary because Hungary chooses them. You can bet hungarian fash is just as mad that the government is friends with commies, but Hungary needs China more than China needs Hungary and since they don't give a fuck about hungarian domestic politics (as elsewhere) they are a very ideal partner.
I’m pretty sure that’s exactly why they decided to go with Hungary. Western liberals hate Hungary (understandably so), and NATOids act as if Hungary and Turkey are enemies who are not part of NATO. These clowns are stuck with people they consider traitors because kicking them out would mean a more explicit alignment with the east lol. NATO is the Democratic Party of military alliances.
If Turkey and Hungary want to be rogue wildcards, China wants to enable them with forming close relations because that means more internal western conflict. It’s a political slight as much as it is an economical policy.
