It is a mistake that opening to the East means sympathy for or copying the political system there.

Within our opening to the East, the expansion of our economic and trade relations with China is obviously the most important, as well as our participation in the Belt and Road program. However, this does not mean accepting, supporting or copying China's political system or ideology.

Or, to be more precise, it cannot mean this. The threads of our cooperation with China are shining and growing. And that's very good. But in the meantime, we must not forget what China is.

China is slowly defeating the United States in the global economic competition, at least because of their enormous development, the world can no longer be called unipolar, but at least bipolar (whether there will be more poles than this will be determined by the outcome of the Russian-Ukrainian war, as well as the unity of the global South or can be determined by its decomposition - among other things).

It is therefore in the cards that China will soon become a leading world power - it already is in part today. 

History shows that when a new great power rises at the expense of another one, defeating it as it were, the number of countries – I am not referring to Hungary here – that change direction and try to win the favor of the new power with smart policies increases. They establish relationships, they don't criticize the new big boy after that, and they try to benefit from the new type of relationships.

In a certain sense, this can be seen as a natural aspiration, but we should take into account the kind of empire with which we are now building a comprehensive system of relationships.

To be clear, I will say it once again: it is excellent that we have built and are building trade and economic relations with China that seem to be fruitful. I approve of this, this is true economic pragmatism, by the way, even the Western middle powers do this, if through other forms and methods.

Connectivity, connectivity, versus blocking. In the battery industry, we have established an unprecedented level of cooperation with China, battery factories (CATL), and now also in the field of electric vehicle production (BYD). It really seems to be the way of the future, as green - but not dark green! - in terms of economic policy, this is of great importance, as from 2035, the European Commission will no longer allow traditional internal combustion cars that use gasoline and diesel to roll off the production lines. With this, we are both environmentally friendly and at the forefront of something that represents the future. China could not be a better partner for this, on the one hand due to its capabilities - the rare metals required for battery production are available there to the greatest extent - and the production and sale of electric cars in China has grown to a huge size.

However.

All this does not mean that we do not know who we are up against.

What is China? China is a total communist dictatorship. We will never forget this. I personally have one or two problems with China, and I will share them with you here and now.

First: China, being a communist dictatorship, has no democracy. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has absolute power, not only in the political sphere, i.e. in the state, but also over citizens, individually and collectively. And this is not good. This is bad. Of course, we can't interfere in this, but we don't like it that way either.

We must remember, and I strongly recommend this to the attention of our political leaders: such great powers and empires as the United States or China or Russia are arbitrary, unpredictable and sometimes unreliable, regardless of the political system. Simply because they believe they are doing what they want, as they please and momentarily - I repeat: momentarily! - their interests require it. They don't care much about international law, or treaties, or basic human rights. They believe that they are above the law because they are the law itself.

Now, should I remind you of the completely illegal, arbitrary interventions of the United States in the internal affairs of other countries, of the bombings against Yugoslavia, which were not authorized by the UN or any other international organization, or the attack on Iraq, which was falsely justified?

You don't have to. If you want to get an idea of ​​the US's bad - and at the same time horrible - actions abroad, watch the documentary series CIA Wars on YouTube, produced by ARTE years ago. Maybe it hasn't been deleted yet.

But the problem here is that if even a great power supposedly based on democracy, like the USA, behaves in this way - of course I'm not pretending: the USA is no longer a democracy! - then what about a great power that is not even a democracy, but a total dictatorship, both in appearance and in fact?

So: you can love China's trade and economic development, but you must not love and at any level accept China's political and social system. These two must be sharply separated from each other.

However, there is a danger that we must pay close attention to while broadening our economic relations: a factor of world domination like China is not exempt from the idea of ​​using trade-economic relations in the political-geopolitical field as well.

Let's not forget: China's real opponent is the USA, and if its interests so desire, it will determine its next step in the context of this rivalry - even in economic-commercial and investment matters. 

In other words, if China appears somewhere, there is always a danger in addition to the benefits. Simply because it is a great power, and the nature of great powers is to put small countries, which for them are barely visible on the map, in the service of their own goals. If someone doesn't understand this, not much can be done.

For example, it may happen that, citing their security interests, they venture into areas beyond the economy during investments, factory construction, and commercial cooperation, and make requests to the given country that are no longer necessarily in the interest of the host small country. For example, it is possible that since they are at eye level with the USA, therefore, if they see some kind of danger on the part of the USA in connection with these investments or expansions - many versions of this sense of danger are possible, for example secret services - then they add "things" to the otherwise excellent investments , which are no longer necessarily sympathetic to us natives.

But this is just fantasizing on my part, hopefully there is no question of such intrusion intentions. And if there is, our current Hungarian sovereignist, national government will avert these dangers - I am sure of that.

Secondly, I would like to point out that the Chinese leadership has established surprisingly close relations with the flagship of the global elite, the WEF, i.e. the World Economic Forum, headed by Klaus Schwab. He, as we know—I hope we know! - In 2020, he announced the Great Reset, which is nothing more than setting the goal of a global world governance in which nation-states "die" (see Marx and Lenin) and are replaced by technocracy and transnational mega-corporations controlled by a world elite will rule the world society, in which no one will own property, but everyone will be very happy - similar to the happiness of zombies.

China largely identifies with the goals set by the Davos elite, in other words, the global elite, which I elaborated in more detail in my article a few weeks earlier (Let's keep our eyes on 2030! - February 5). Among these, the abolition of cash and the introduction of a digital world currency (CBDC) should be highlighted, which would also be linked to forcing people to have a digital card through which they could not only check their cash flows, but also their health data, the verification of their potentially mandatory new vaccinations, their shopping habits, as well as other data related to their socio-political views. And this social credit card would lead to Orwellian total control, which is perhaps the greatest danger to humanity.

Well, China is at the forefront of implementing these globalist-dictatorial ideas, and that is why Klaus Schwab and the global elite are so advocating cooperation with China.

In China, the transition to digital currency has already begun and, what is even more terrible, the introduction of the social credit system, which also controls the social movements and views of people - subjects.

and if someone behaves inappropriately, they receive "penalty points" and receive deductions. Unfortunately, this is no longer a fairy tale, this is the harsh reality in China. In addition, China supports the WHO's (UN's World Health Organization) horrible attempt to take over the total control of the nation-states in pandemic and vaccine matters in May.

It reassures me that our government does not want the elimination of cash, the introduction of CBDC, the full power of the WHO over nations, the construction of social monitoring systems and so on.

Because for us, our sovereignty comes first, and commercial profit comes second.
