    Chinese loans tend to feature higher interest rates than bilateral loans from Paris Club countries or international institutions (e.g. International Monetary Fund, The World Bank, etc.) and the repayment windows are shorter. This setup is more akin to commercial loans concerning their conditions of repayment (as well as Hungarian citizens are finding: confidentiality).

  2. “A Bridge” – Hungary – on the NEW Silk Road – of the East Meeting the West.
    Hungarians – if they continue to ALLOW this “Take-over” of Hungary, being the “Prime ” target in Europe of China, not forgetting WHAT already they own or are OWED in BORROWED loan(s) funding to the Orban – Fidesz Government – if Hungarians don’t massively and with INCREASED solidarity take Steps to STOP this destructive path taken by the Orban -Fidesz Government – as a country Hungary will be STRIPPED of it’s ability to have any say or IN-PUT into our FUTURE.
    Hungarian sovereignty will be SURPRESSED of NO respect paid by the Communistic Laws of China.
    Hungary – we are NOW to China – there “Dogs Body” – sold out by the Orban – Fidesz Government causing our SEPARATION the non-practice of DEMOCRACY under the Membership, the Laws of the European Union – in our Governance.
    Russia – same can be said, in our SELL Off to them, being again a “Dogs Body” – that adds to our DESTRUCTION as a country.
    WHEN will the EXPLOSION on the Orban – Fidesz Government of Hungary, that GARGANTUAN Debt owed to the European Union that increases daily at humongous interest rate level, when will it ALL explode ?
    Debt – debt and more Orban – Fidesz Government DEBT – being built on the tax payers – the citizens of Hungary and the BURDEN’s on increasing millions of Hungarians – this DEBT is HAVING.
    Poverty in Hungary grows now in excess of 3.1 million, giving no sign nor “probability” of its END.
    It HAS to INCREASE as will the “quality of LIFE” on Hungarians – in our millions.
    HORRENDOUS – discouraging times ahead we FACE.
    Appalling.

  3. Crestfallen is my position to use the word STUPIDITY.
    It’s a derogatory word, not used in my vocabulary, with a “core” meaning of behaviour that show’s lack of Sense and Judgement.
    Stupidity – does and can be inclusive of meaning lacking of intelligence.
    Hungary – the stage has been REACHED we are “playing out” being a country exhibiting ourselves in STUPIDITY.
    Is NOT – the longer they are PERMITTED to Govern us – Rule us – Dictate to us, the conduct of our LIVES, the bastardization of our country Hungary – the CRUSHING /Smashing of our Economy, the DEBT – they have established for us as a country on us, the tax payers, by Remaining SILENT in our MILLIONS in opposing / challenging or even fighting them orderly in SOLIDARITY this Orban – Fidesz Government – does this not display our STUPIDITY ?
    YES sadly it DOES.
