💥A quick appetizer 🧵for my new article. #Chinese investments and #democratic #backsliding are mutually reinforcing in #Hungary. To further monopolize #political and #economic #power, the #Orbán govt continues utilising business provided by #Beijing bit.ly/3G4iICo 1/ 
After the 🇭🇺 MFA declared that it fully respects the “OneChinaPolicy”, the 🇨🇳 @catl_official announced the largest #industrial investment in #Hungary’s history. It stems from the strategy w/ which #Orbán committed himself to a China-friendly policy for pragmatic reasons 2/
The 🇭🇺 govt tilted the playing field w/ #clientelist #corruption. It created additional #informal sources through which #Orbán cemented #political #economic power. Economic ties with 🇨🇳 became an instrument to explore Asian markets/expand business in a #nontransparent way 3/

Instead of perpetuating the geo-imaginary of Western liberal democracy vs. Chinese authoritarianism, we situate the p-2008 expansion of state capitalism in China as part of the worldwide response to the crisis of global capitalism (over-production, excess liquidity, slow growth)
Focusing on the NWSS as an assemblage of discourses, policies, and practices, we show how it builds on/departs from the old socialist whole state system. We argue that the Chinese state is not monolithic, unchanging, and culturally essentialist.
