💥New publications alert!💥#CEIAS shaping debate on #CentralEurope’s role vis-à-vis #China 🇨🇳🇪🇺

Central Europe is often framed as passive recipients of Chinese influence. 🧭

A new special issue in @ReviewPacific challenges this assumption and shows a more complex reality.

🧵

[CEIAS: Central European Institute of Asian Studies @CEIAS_eu]

@RQTurcsanyi 2/

Case in point: #Hungary 🇭🇺

Rather than being simply “influenced” by China, Hungary’s China policy is strongly shaped by domestic political strategy and leadership agency.

This challenges the idea of passive alignment.
