  1. What did they do?
    I thought that eastern Europe took quite a lot of money from China and were pretty close to them..

  2. I don’t know what did author mean. But at the very beginning China shouldn’t stitch their flag to EU one. Instead they should be just close to each other, symbolising mutual partnership. In comic it seem like China wants to infiltrate EU and take the leading role (watch the star in the centre) and is stopped by Slovakia.

  3. Why Slovakia when we are proruZZian cancer in Europe now ?

  4. You might be over thinking this. I think it portrays China making the EU part of its ow, and then the EU stopping it on its tracks.

  6. Only thing I know is that VW and other car manufacturers are producing car’s in Slowakia for the Chinese market. The EU’s investigation into chinese EVs is making China angry. Slowakia wanted to better the relationship with asian countries (including China!).

    Maybe China feels betrayed because of the planned 25% tarrifs on Chinese cars?

    But then it would be more fitting if a EU flag was kicking China.
    Also China is not a good samaritan, they are doing things for other countries but it comes with Chinese influence and better reputation for China.

  7. I think It illustrates how China has gained more influence inside EU and made them bit dependent of China. I guess France and Hungary somehow support China in it?

  8. Slovakia? Really? Current prime minister even want Chinas companies get build infrastructure here.

    I am worry about that these idiots can fall into the same debt trap as many Africa countries.

    There are highways in Slovakia that was build good in normal time but it was expensive because of companies done it, then goverment started paying for it companies that are cheap as possible and untill today are not even finished that ones that had to be in 2009.

    Again same prime minister Fico get into the goverment and looks like he going to work with China.

  9. Hehe, the funny thing is that instead of Chinese flags, it could be any nation’s flag, just pay money to Orban.

    So please don’t look at it as “Hungary”, but as a symbol of Orbán and the people who support him (2 million Orbán supporters in the last election in 2024, the same number in the real opposition, so 50-50%, 2-2 millions of voters)

    The weird thing is that old generations who support Orbán are the biggest xenophobes (really, they hate everyone indiscriminately), they just keep lying to them.

  10. If anything I’d say Lithuania would be the first to make the kick. They have balls of steel for recognizing Taiwan not too long ago.

  11. Obviously created by AI or a person clueless about the EU.

  12. Can someone explain this ? And why is Slovakia kicking China with some kickbox move ?

  13. I really, really, don’t understand why Slovakia was chosen for this. Lithuania and Italy, I can see, but did I miss something about Slovakia?

  14. I’m not sure about Slovakia, but Italy and Lithuania in the third panel are there because Lithuania has generally been pro-Taiwan lately, angering Peking, instead Italy at the start of 2024 left the Belt and Road initiative, in which entered when the 5 Star Movement was in government, (they are an anti-west, anti-NATO party funded by Russia and China).

  15. it doesn’t look like China is doing anything wrong in this comic, Slovakia just seems like an asshole?

    I’m not sure that was the intended message at all
