From a global perspective, the words "sanctions" and "been" are often used. However, just as Europe was preparing for the 13th round of sanctions against Russia, Hungary, the "roadblocker", suddenly stepped in. Interestingly, this time Hungary abandoned aid to Russia, but to Chinese companies.
RBC-Ukraine, citing a report in the Financial Times, reveals the complex connections in this situation. In line with Kyiv's $5 billion rescue plan, as well as the interests of Russian real estate, the European Union had planned to impose new economic sanctions on Russia, two years after a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. However, at yesterday's meeting of European representatives to Europe, Hungary was, in a surprising way, the only country to object to the agreement.
"Sensitive": Chinese companies are involved.
The list includes more than 200 people from Russia, China and several other countries. They were condemned for aiding in a war unleashed by Moscow. For Hungary, however, putting Chinese companies on the sanctions list clearly touches its most sensitive nerves. One ** put it bluntly: "The Hungarians refused because of the Chinese company." ”
It is not unfounded that the Hungarians are opposed to this. In the past, both Hungary and its prime minister, Viktor Orban, have repeatedly postponed or mitigated the punishment of Russia, or extended a helping hand to Ukraine. This time, Hungary, despite the will of the Chinese company, once again confronted the European powers. For Europe, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow.
Gambling and compromises about the "exchange of opinions".
The opposition of the Hungarian side caused a fierce debate and game in Europe. A diplomat familiar with the talks said the process was "constructive." He euphemistically said that Hungary was blocked because of the ambassador to China in Budapest"Ask them more time to work on the proposals. But everyone knows in their hearts that this is just an excuse that Hungary has made for itself.
In fact, the contradictions between the two sides are not irresolvable. While a group of other countries opposed this last year, the European Union did not make the slightest compromise or compromise. However, the sanctions imposed on Chinese and Indian companies have become an insurmountable obstacle. This change reflects the differences and games between European countries on Sino-Russian relations.
How are sanctions applied?
The person concerned said that the issue will also be discussed at a meeting with the ministers of various countries next week. Proponents of economic sanctions against Iran do not expect results until next Wednesday. However, the Hungarian side is strongly opposed, and Chinese companies are also involved, so there is still a lot of uncertainty about whether the timeline will be implemented as scheduled.
In the big picture, this incident is not only a test of the unity of the European Union and the effectiveness of its decision-making, but also a test of China-EU relations. With the escalating crisis in Ukraine and the increasingly complex geopolitical situation, Europe must respond correctly while safeguarding its own interests in the face of threats from major powers such as China and Russia.
Conjectures and prospects.
Looking ahead, we can see the following basic trends: first, Hungary is very likely to hold its stance, demand some compromise from Europe, or impose sanctions on it; Secondly, to change Hungary's position, Europe can do so through diplomatic means and pressure; Finally, the two parties can also find a balance that takes into account each other's concerns and interests. Whatever the final outcome, this will have far-reaching implications for the global political landscape.
