Will Fudan University’s Budapest campus be constructed by a Chinese company involved in spying scandals?
Change language:
The Hungarian government has been working on its relationships with the East and has thus been conducting negotiations, discussions, and financial agreements with China. Recently, the Hungarian government seems to have invited one of the best universities in the world, the renowned Fudan University, to build a new campus in Budapest, and there have been a few developments regarding the plans since our previous article.
According to 444, the Orbán government has been working together with China on more and more projects, such as the Budapest-Belgrade railway line, which is worth HUF 700 billion (€2 billion), the tender for which was won by Chinese governmental firms, together with one of the ties of Lőrinc Mészáros. Moreover, last year, when the pandemic hit, the Hungarian government purchased many protective equipment and ventilators from China, probably at a high price, and Hungary was also the first European country to use the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine.
Originally, the roots of the agreement lied with the Central Bank of Hungary as the president of the Central Bank of Hungary negotiated possible cooperation between the Fudan University and Hungary as early as 2017, during the Chinese-Hungarian financial forum in Shanghai. Now, according to recent news and documents uncovered by Direkt36,
the Hungarian Ministry of Innovation and Technology put forward a contract in which a construction company closely related to the Chinese government, the China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC), is to conduct the construction of the new campus of the Chinese Fudan University.
According to 444, there are several red flags about this investment concerning the building process of Fudan University’s campus. One such red flag or rather a concern is that since the charter of Fudan University was altered in 2019, the points concerning freedom of thought and research were changed to a declaration of allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party. This might place communist and socialist views above the transfer of knowledge, and there is fear that the Chinese institution might spy on its students and professors.
Ah ok… So the Hungarian government will speak loudly against Soros’s globalist/communist agenda but will play nice when it’s the CCP’s hand threatening Western liberty…
Yet another example of the continuous damage Internationally that Hungary is inflicting upon it’s self by this deepening Chinese relationship.
A couple of years ago I was at Castle hill near the Presidential Palace and saw a convoy of about six black diplomatic cars with Chinese flags stop and get out and waving Chinese flags – not one hUNGARIAN flag amongst them – yelling something. Some people were watching, maybe laughing. Well, guess who is ahving the last laugh!!
The CCP is relentless in its persecution of Christians, Muslims, Buddhists… How can the hypocrites in Fidesz claim they promote the values of a “Christian” country and constantly beat the drum about persecuted Christians when they sleep with the CCP? It is horrendous policy. Christians in China are constantly threatened! Where is the anger from Fidesz?
And even if you believe that Soros and CEU are leftist threats to Hungary’s future and culture, how are they anywhere near as bad as the CCP? The CCP will own Hungary within a decade. Those who benefit will be members of the CCP and the FIDESZ ELITE. It is so obvious, it boggles the mind that Fidesz followers don’t see it. Just look at the loans the CCP has been giving around the world. They will own Hungary along with those other nations.
It was a Hungarian by the name of Orbán who built the cannons which the Ottoman’s used to devour Constantinople and led to the occupation of Hungary. It seems another man named Orbán will invite a new occupier: China.
