The problem is for countries trying to have close ties with China, is that the closer they get, the more the country in question better behave themselves, China doesn't have any conditions on those countries, just as long as the government toes the line with China, in other words, to hell with the people in those countries, and it isn't by chance that China is making friends with countries that want to run like a dictatorship, the warning signs are there for the people living in those countries, and I feel sorry for what could happen if they get too close to China and try to show any independent thought.
At the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is quality of life and living standards, you have to ask yourself, who is more likely going to deliver that, the EU or China? The EU have a proven track record on delivering that, whereas China, I sense want those countries to toe the line with China's interest, its geopolitics, which rarely is in the interest of the people, but honestly, maybe the EU and west at large, should throw these countries to the wolves, they'll learn far quicker this way, but it would be unfortunate for the people living in those countries as those are the ones that will likely get screwed over, but sometimes that needs to happen, because sometimes people don't want to learn, Hungary is a prime example of that, which should be thrown out of the EU, throw them towards Russia and China and see how well that goes for the people in the country, because honestly, the EU can keep banging its head against the wall trying to help these countries, but unless the people wake up and help themselves, then what's the point? but seriously, the EU has been way too soft on Hungary and Orbán takes advantage of that, it's time to throw Hungary out and let the wolves feast on them lol.
