Hungary has now become China’s largest investment partner within the European Union, cementing its position as a central player in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). With 64 projects valued at $13 billion, this partnership underscores the deepening ties between Budapest and Beijing.
The cooperation covers a wide range of strategic sectors – including transport, logistics, green energy, and digital infrastructure – all of which strengthen Hungary’s economic resilience and connectivity across Europe and Asia.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has consistently championed an independent foreign policy, choosing cooperation and growth over confrontation and ideological wars. The results are clear: Hungary is attracting record levels of investment, securing jobs for its people, and positioning itself as a bridge between East and West.
China’s Belt and Road Initiative has long been criticised by Brussels and Washington, yet Hungary has shown that pragmatism brings results. While other European countries are stuck in endless debates, Budapest is delivering concrete projects worth billions, boosting its influence and long-term economic strength.
This new reality shows once again that the future belongs to nations that build, connect, and cooperate – not those that isolate themselves in ideological arrogance.
