  1. Chinese company's cars are investing much faster than Germany, while the German government is focusing on restricting freedom of expression 🔻🔻

  2. Germans not compliant who boomed the Nord Pipe and who establish military base to control them, by criticizing China invest in Hungary😁😁😁😁

  3. So you are saying that chinesse cars will polute more that the bombs, tanks, missiles, warplanes, warships that Ursula wants to make? I'll take Xi's strategy over that of the EU unelected officials.

  4. chinese are not investing, they are actually buying hungary one bit at a time and the hungarians do not know or understand; the only person to gain from this is orban – too bad the people do not notice because of the crumbs being given to them by orban and the chinese

  5. As of 2024, the market share of European passenger car brands in China remains relatively modest. For instance, German automotive brands hold a market share of around 5% in China.

    How does the Chinese public financing system work? For around twenty years, in the wood industry in France, Chinese buyers bought at very good prices, for several years, the entire local production of beech logs, a wood used to make, for example, toys. Unable to find raw material, French sawyers abandoned this know-how and are now unable to process this wood industrially. French toy manufacturers, after a very difficult time trying to sell wood toys in competition with Chinese toy imports, had to buy beech sawn in the Czech Republic, Romania, Germany, etc. and finally, they had to close their businesses…

  7. Hunagary is asking to replace it with Ukraine. I say it is a good deal. We loose 10 million people, but get 30 million loyal and grateful people and breadbasket of Europe with experienced military. We can't have backdoor in Europe to enemy countries.

  8. Save the spotted wood owl, save the whales!@ how about save the Palestinians who are part of the human race first??? how eco-riduculous

  9. The funny thing is that most Germans still thought that China was like the poorest country in Europe: Moldova and all those Cbinese EVs were made with stolen technology from Germany! Look at Tesla's factory in Germany, the worst night mare for Ellon Musk. Most Germans didn't know that the Chinese economy is larger than the entire EU economy.

  10. DW desperetly searching for reason to blame Orban, 🙂 we used to have this ideological broadcasting in communist Czechoslovakia. You should be doing better commrats 🙂

  11. And now there is drought and agriculture disaster in the country…
    But Hungary clearly is not interested in europian values except for the money/ subsidies, let them ask help from their collegue dictators in russia and china ,they love them soo much 😂

  12. Hungary's gotten so much investment from Germany, the EU and the West, but now with its Ukraine and Russia policy, it intentionally acting as a back door into Europe for Russian intelligence since 2009, now opening the flood gates with no conditions Russian and Belraussian visas, and going against every EU policy, its time to kick Hungary out of the EU and NATO. Lets see Orban get re-elected and all the windfall of EU, German, Russian and Chinese investment continue without access to the European market.
    That should be the cost of electing a fascist oligarch populist that stands against all our EU values.
    I wish more Hungarian citizens spoke up to wrongful state decisions or for good faith concerns the way the two women in this segment do.
