On October 3, local time, Hungarian Prime Minister Orban, who was visiting the Czech Republic, criticized the EU’s current foreign policy for lack of autonomy in an interview with Czech media, and called on the EU to seize the opportunity to develop pragmatic economic and trade cooperation with China and Russia.
When asked how he views the future of the European Union and the role played by China and Russia in the world, Orbán said that the elites in Brussels are “blinded by ideology”, and the policies adopted by China and Russia are in line with the EU’s own policies. Interests run counter to. He said: “We have hindered the development of trade, although close economic cooperation (with China and Russia) is in the interests of the EU. However, we have to show strength in weak places, thus closing the door to cooperation. The EU is doing things against its own interests. Thing.”
In recent years, the direction of Sino-European relations has attracted much attention as the United States has tried its best to form cliques to encircle China. In this regard, Orban said that the EU should not dance with the United States, but should have an independent foreign trade policy. The EU cannot afford the huge price of losing the Eastern market. He believes that the United States regards China as its biggest competitor, and Europe cannot miss the huge economic opportunity before it. Europe needs strategic sovereignty, so it needs its own army and an independent trade policy to pursue its own interests.
