Hungary’s interior ministry claimed the deal would improve safety in tourist hotspots or during events that attract large numbers of spectators.

But the plan has drawn criticism from those concerned the agreement will be abused by communist China, which has a lengthy record of human rights abuses.

The patrols could be the first step to establishing secret police stations or used to intimidate the overseas Chinese community, they warned.

It was literally one of your points. And a direct, bad response to what I wrote. Which is why it's what I responded to.

However, if you go up to my first post. You will find you are arguing with someone who agrees with you on the Hungary front. I basically called for the people there to be on guard against their government and China. That as much as many here want to blame China for this, The leadership of Hungary invited them in. So the responsibility is on them.
