26:1! Hungary vetoes EU resolution on China, German officials angrily: Revise voting rules

Previously, the Pakistani representative supported China at the UN meeting, clearly stating that China has no right to interfere in other countries' internal affairs. Recently, a European country spoke up for China at the EU meeting and vetoed the EU resolution on China with one vote. That country is Hungary.

Recently, the United States has used Lithuania as an entry point to continue hyping it up and trying to win over the European Unio in an attempt to put pressure on China together.

Earlier, the eight European countries made clear their latest position to China, of which Hungary took the lead in making a statement.

As one of the EU member states, Hungary has previously rejected the EU's proposal for the US to hold a so-called "democracy summit" statement. In addition, the Hungarian ambassador to China made a positive statement on the relationship between China and Hungary in the interview. There is no doubt that Hungary and China are on the side.

This is not the first time Hungary has supported China. Some time ago, the EU once again drafted a China-related resolution, which still interferes in China's internal affairs. A total of 26 countries voted in favor of the resolution, while Hungary cast the only veto.

It is reported that the EU implements a one-vote veto system in terms of security policy, that is, any EU country's opposition will lead to the failure of the resolution. Therefore, Hungary's opposition played a decisive role, which directly led to the failure of the resolution.

When Germany, France and other major countries have the right to speak in the EU, Hungary can take the initiative to stand up for China, which has also aroused strong dissatisfaction among German officials.

Berger, the State Secretary of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, criticized on social media that Hungary’s move was infuriating. With the veto power granted by the EU, it rejected the EU’s China-related resolutions. This move will lead to the EU’s common foreign and security policy. Unable to implement.

He also proposed that the EU must reform and discuss how to deal with dissent. Berger also suggested changing the voting rules to abolish the one-vote veto system and introduce a majority voting system.

In fact, the bilateral relations between China and Hungary have always been relatively harmonious. It is understood that Hungary is also the first country in Central and Eastern Europe to set up a "RMB clearing bank". It is also the first country in Europe to introduce China's new crown vaccine, which makes the country's vaccination level among the best.

At the same time, China and Hungary will also cooperate in vaccine production and plan to start local production of vaccines in 2022. This will play an important role in controlling the epidemic in the country, and Hungary can also gain certain economic benefits in vaccine exports.

In terms of diplomacy, Hungary has not followed in the footsteps of the United States and has a bad relationship with China. Instead, it has opened the door for exchanges and actively promoted exchanges between the two countries. A few days ago, the Hungarian Foreign Minister also paid a visit to China upon invitation, and will carry out cooperation in more fields in the future.

Hungary has also signed numerous cooperation agreements with China in the past. It is reported that in order to deepen economic and trade exchanges with China and other Asian countries, the country has specially invested 200 million US dollars to set up a special logistics center, which has become an important transit point for trade exchanges between China and Europe.

The opening of the China Railway Express has also brought new growth points to the country's economy, which can be described as a win-win situation. Hungary's vote this time also used its own actions to express its dissatisfaction with the EU.
