China Strengthens Security Ties with Hungary Amid NATO Expansion Challenges

In a strategic move, China offers Hungary support in public security and law enforcement, marking a significant diplomatic win in the EU.

China has offered to support Hungary in public security issues, extending beyond their existing trade and investment relations.
The support includes combating terrorism, transnational crimes, and enhancing law enforcement capacity under the Belt and Road Initiative
Hungary, a NATO member, has not ratified Sweden's application to join the alliance, reflecting its growing affinity towards Beijing.
The cooperation represents a diplomatic victory for China within the European Union, amidst tensions over human rights and trade imbalances.
Hungary's closer ties with China, including hosting Huawei's largest base outside China, challenge the EU's collective stance on security and investments.
