From calligraphy to learning Chinese, eating dumplings and various teas, it was a day full of culture and taste. Several MCC students and employees interested in Chinese language and culture participated in the event. You can start learning Chinese!

Last year, China became the country that produces and exports the most cars in the world - it was said at the latest event of the MCC Budapest Lectures program series, at which Xin Song, founder of the Sinnvoll think tank and an expert on economic issues, gave an insight into, among other things, the prospects of Chinese companies in Hungary.

Bilateral relations between China and Central and Eastern European countries, including Hungary, have strengthened significantly in the past period. Thanks to our country's favorable business environment and strong bilateral relations with China, it has become an attractive target country for Chinese companies, especially in the electric vehicle industry. At the event, Xin Song provided a unique insight into the prospects of Chinese companies in Hungary. China has signed strategic cooperation agreements with nine Hungarian companies, which indicates that these companies are willing to invest significantly. At the event, it was said that the Hungarian state welcomes foreign investment with a well-thought-out incentive structure, a low tax environment for companies, and a very friendly and open policy towards Chinese investors. Our country's stable economic and political environment, as well as its "Gateway to the EU" status, also contributed to its attractiveness to Chinese investors.

China became the world's largest producer and exporter of cars last year, emphasized Xin Song, who added that the Chinese electric car manufacturer BYD produced more vehicles than Tesla, and also mentioned that the performance of the European automobile industry has visibly decreased in recent years. . Hungary is attractive to Chinese investors because the economic guidelines are on a stable basis, they do not change every year - he noted - and this is very important, since Chinese investors plan for the long term - the founder of the Sinnvoll think tank concluded his presentation.
