Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded an “all-weather” strategic partnership agreement with Hungary on Thursday, capping off a three-nation diplomatic tour of Europe aimed at solidifying Beijing’s footprint on the continent and countering growing European “de-risking” efforts and national security-based restrictions.
