You can support the Hungarian government’s robust policies against illegal immigration and its support for the family unit. But you cannot claim to be tough on China and also support Viktor Orban. Because the prime minister of Hungary is Chinese President Xi Jinping’s happy servant. A servant, that is to say, of Xi’s keystone effort to subvert American power, values, and prosperity.

Welcoming Xi as he arrived in Budapest on Thursday, Orban saluted Communist China as the nation that now “determines the course of world economic and world political processes.” Orban added, “Hungary has always maintained friendly relations with China … we have always believed in the principle of One China, we have always stood on the basis of mutual respect, we have always regarded China as a friendly country.” Note the “One China” repudiation of Taiwan.
