In Hungary, the sovereignist Prime Minister continues to thumb his nose at Europe and flirtatiously with China.

Last episode of Viktor Orbán's sinophilia: in December 2019, he signed an agreement with Beijing, which stipulates that Budapest will host the European campus of Fudan University in Shanghai.

For the first time, a Chinese university is setting up in Europe.

This caused a lot of opposition in the country.
