- 2 May 2012 9:00 AM
- current affairs
As I'm looking through my files it seems as if almost nothing has happened in Chinese-Hungarian relations in the last six months or so. It was in mid-November 2011 that Tamás Fellegi made his last trip to China where he negotiated with Chinese businessmen and bank presidents.

Xpat Opinion: New President Of Hungary: János Áder
- 23 Apr 2012 9:00 AM
- current affairs
Someone could nitpick and say that János Áder has not been confirmed as president yet. He was only nominated by Viktor Orbán and endorsed by the Fidesz-KDNP parliamentary caucuses. Let's just wait for the final vote. But we know, don't we, that there won't be any problem with his election on May 2, the date apparently picked for the glorious event.
