New funding available under Hungary-China joint R and D initiative
Hungarian and Chinese government agencies fostering joint research and development projects have opened up the latest phase in funding, focusing on areas such as health care and digitalisation.
So far joint R and D projects have focused on biotechnology, materials science and energy, while the current call for bids builds on and complements areas where innovative solutions contribute towards handling today’s big challenges, Tibor Gulyás, a deputy state secretary for innovation said.
The specified areas are epidemiology, neuroscience, physics and artificial intelligence.
The National Office for Research, Development and Innovation (NKFIH) and its Chinese partner, the Ministry of Science and Technology, have been encouraging R and D cooperation based on a bilateral science and technology pact concluded in 2002, according to an innovation and technology ministry statement on Tuesday.
The latest tender finances Hungarian players that show promising joint initiatives with Chinese researchers and enterprises. Applications can be submitted by February 12, 2021.

The PRC has identified for the world,the “gateway to enter PRC”, via ASEAN and the RCEP. As time passes, wage increases and the rise in cost of living,in urban agglomerations,will provide the impetus to outsource, and shift manufacturing,to ASEAN.Rising costs are a signal,of the obsolescence of the business model and technology – and the driver,to re-engineer the manufacturing value chain.
This outsourcing to ASEAN,will soak up the entire manufacturing capacity of ASEAN,boosting profits and wages in ASEAN nations.Chinese can partake in this wealth creation,in the ASEAN nations,as under:
Lending to ASEAN companies by Chinese Banks like CCB etc.
VC and PE stakes in ASEAN companies,with exits on the HKEX or NYSE
JV with ASEAN companies
Hence,there will be a continuous pipeline of transfer of technology and products from PRC to ASEAN at a competitive cost,and with a stand-by financing fron Chinese Banks.
This will make the ASEAN people and the ASEAN governments DEPENDENT on PRC,and enable ASEAN to be partners in the PRC success story.Thereafter,excluding Nippon and South Korea,no other nation will ally with the Americans,and might also,not allow their ports,to be used by the US Navy – as the financial and economic loss,will be tangible and huge – with no ostensible strategic benefits,to the ASEAN nations.
RCEP has knitted the ASEAN into the PRC garment.
Meanwhile PRC companies can focus on AI,Robotics and Nano to drive up the manufacturing value chain – with collaborations with EU companies and keep the Chinese skilled workers at the cutting edge of change.
Simultaneous with the above, the RCEP region (minus Nippon and Australia) can use the Yuan as the FX and
even conclude agreements with OPEC or Saudis,and other Break Bulk Raw Material supply nations,to settle all purchases in Yuan (for the RCEP,as trading block).
History,Geneaology,Providence,Culture and Geography,have destined PRC and ASEAN,to be an integrated block.
What place does India have,in the block ?
Nippon and Aussies bring in technical and management excellence (which India never had )
Pakistan HAS to be given a choice to join RCEP,on the thesis that any SEZ of PRC,or a ASEAN owned SEZ o/s ASEAN,with an investment of,in excess of say,USD 35 Billion,can be DEEMED to be an EXTENSION,of the RCEP.
POST RCEP, The Path for EU manufacturers is as clear,as the white sand on a black clay beach.German manufacturers have to relocate to ASEAN,for manufacturing,and THEN export to PRC,else they will lose tarriff and non-tarriff costs,of at least 5-10%.
For those who complain about manufacturing regulations in PRC,and the costly and complex legal systems in PRC,the solution is to make in ASEAN,and seek legal redressal in ASEAN – and further,export their output to PRC.This will also secure the EU manufacturers,who wish to secure their assets,in democracies”.
The inevitable crisis of AI,Nano and Robotics,will make most humans redundant,even in EU manufacturing. The least the EU can do,is to offshore production to ASEAN,to crash the costs for EU consumers – so that,if the EU has to feed 200 million people (after they are rendered redundant),they can be fed at the lowest cost.
Only a fool in the EU,would ally with India.India is a bankrupt nation,and for those who talk of the Indian Market – what portion of the Indian Market, has been tapped by EU and USA together – and how long has it taken ?
The Fools in the EU are right that INDIANS DO NOT POSE A THREAT to the EU market (if they form a trading block or treaty with India),as they are inefficient and inept.
Does the EU need an impotent,incompetent and inefficient partner,to navigate the future ? If there is a Russia-EU stand off or a gas choke,what strategic leverage,will the Indians have ?
If the EU is PROTECTING its markets and industry, from the Chinese invasion,and thus,forfeiting unrestricted access for EU exporters to the market of PRC – that is a disaster -as the current manufacturing in EU,will ,in any case,becoine obsolete.
