💥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/

[Thread] Many people say that #France does “no longer” need #Africa. Their argument: France’s declining trade share in the continent, and esp. with the 14 countries still using a colonial currency controlled by the French Treasury, the #CFA #franc.
They stress in particular that Africa represents around 5% of French global trade. So, for them, this is evidence that any claim of French dependence on Africa or #neocolonialism is an exaggeration.
Their argument has a name: the “small ratio argument” (SRA). It was used by those who denied the tremendous economic impact of the slave trade on the economic development of the West. It is now used by the cheerleaders of French #neocolonialism.

Several years of counter-revolutionary developments within and without had seriously demoralized the Soviet working class. Generations of non-combative, revisionist leadership left the Soviet people unprepared to fight back to defend socialism.
