China has long pursued a diplomatic reset as it finds itself increasingly unpopular and pushed out by Central and Eastern European countries.
The visit between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Hungarian President Viktor Orban ended with glowing praise from both parties as Xi labeled his counterpart a 'model' for diplomatic relations with Europe, while Orban endorsed Beijing’s Ukraine peace plan. 'Today, Europe is on the side of war,' Orbán said Thursday during a joint press conference.
' 'China attaches importance to the China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership and considers Europe an important pole in the multipolar world,' Xi said of the agreements. 'China supports Hungary in playing a greater role in the EU and promoting the new and greater development of China-EU relations.' The South China Morning Post noted that the 'all-weather' partnership places Hungary in the company of such Chinese allies as Belarus, Pakistan and Venezuela.
