I’m pretty sure that’s exactly why they decided to go with Hungary. Western liberals hate Hungary (understandably so), and NATOids act as if Hungary and Turkey are enemies who are not part of NATO. These clowns are stuck with people they consider traitors because kicking them out would mean a more explicit alignment with the east lol. NATO is the Democratic Party of military alliances.
If Turkey and Hungary want to be rogue wildcards, China wants to enable them with forming close relations because that means more internal western conflict. It’s a political slight as much as it is an economical policy.
