How EVs are powering China-Hungary ties

电动汽车如何为中匈关系注入动力

A massive shift is underway in Hungary, powered by Chinese electric vehicle giants. In this report jointly produced with Hungarian state media platform MTVA, we examine how this strategic partnership is fueling an economic boom and putting Hungary on the map of the global auto industry.

在匈牙利，一场由中国电动汽车巨头推动的重大变革正在展开。本报道由匈牙利国家媒体平台MTVA联合制作，探讨这一战略伙伴关系如何助推经济繁荣，并让匈牙利在全球汽车产业版图中占据一席之地。

The former Silk Road wove the world together for centuries, stretching from the heart of China to the shores of the Mediterranean. Along its path, cities and empires rose and fell. Civilizations and cultures met, sha the world we know today. It was not only a route for trade, but also for ideas, technologies, and knowledge between east and west.

Just as silk, porcelain, spices, and new inventions once made their way to Europe, today the technology of the future arrives along the Silk Road to the old continent.

More than 10,000 kilometers. This is how far BYD's renewable energy vehicles traveled along the ancient Silk Road. The journey ended here in Budapest and today here in the European headquarters of BYD, we can learn about how technology quite literally is able to connect different cultures and civilizations and how green energy can build bridges between China and Europe.

What we call the Silk Road didn't exst only in the past. It exsts today and will continue into the future. Though its meaning changes, its significance evolves just as university-industry collaboration evolves when it involves companies operating the most advanced, sophisticated technologies. On this silk road, the most modern, cutting-edge technology is finally moving forward.

古丝绸之路数个世纪以来将世界紧密联结，它从中国腹地延伸至地中海沿岸。沿途之上，城市兴衰更迭，帝国起起落落。不同文明与文化在此交汇碰撞，塑造了我们如今所知的世界。它不仅是一条贸易通道，更是东西方思想、技术与知识交流的桥梁。

正如昔日丝绸、瓷器、香料及各类新发明传入欧洲那般，如今，未来的前沿技术也正沿着丝绸之路，抵达这片古老的大陆。

比亚迪的新能源汽车沿着古丝绸之路，行驶了超过1万公里。这段旅程的终点就在布达佩斯。如今，在比亚迪欧洲总部，我们得以见证技术如何真正联结不同文化与文明，也能看到绿色能源怎样为中国与欧洲搭建起沟通的桥梁。

我们所说的丝绸之路并非只存在于过去，它在当下依然鲜活，也将延续至未来。尽管其内涵在不断变化，重要性也随之演进——就如同高校与产业的合作那般，当涉及掌握最先进、最复杂技术的企业时，这种合作也在不断发展。在这条当代丝绸之路上，最现代、最前沿的技术终于得以稳步前行。

It is no coincidence that the final destination of the journey was Budapest. Hungary has become an important meeting point on the modern Silk Road. Home to leading international companies such as Audi, Mercedes, BMW and Suzuki in the automotive industry, Samsung, Bosch and Huawei in electronics and major western IT and R&D centers like Ericsson, Nokia and Microsoft. All this is now complemented by the factories of Chinese companies such as CL and BYD.

Hungary is a very small country seen from China—almost provincial in size if not smaller—yet it plays a highly important role within the European Union. It lies at the crossroads of east and west and although we are a small nation, we are surrounded by eight neighboring countries. This means that we serve as an entry point to all of them for any of our partners. In this way, we can also become a bridgehead for Chinese companies. Moreover, we form a corridor not only towards the Baltic region and northern Europe, but also towards the Balkans while at the same time acting as a bridge between east and west.

BYD has not only brought its cars to Hungary, but also moved its entire European headquarters from the Netherlands to Budapest. To learn what new horizons this opens up for cooperation between Hungary and China, I asked the CEO of the National Investment Agency about the negotiations.

这段旅程的终点选在布达佩斯绝非偶然。匈牙利已成为现代丝绸之路上的重要交汇点。这里汇聚了众多国际领军企业：汽车领域有奥迪、奔驰、宝马、铃木；电子领域有三星、博世、华为；西方主要的IT及研发中心，如爱立信、诺基亚、微软也在此布局。如今，中国企业（如宁德时代、比亚迪）的工厂入驻，进一步丰富了当地的产业生态。

从中国的视角来看，匈牙利是个小国——面积甚至不及中国的一个省份——但它在欧盟内部却扮演着至关重要的角色。匈牙利地处东西方交汇处，尽管国家规模不大，却与八个国家接壤。这意味着，对所有合作伙伴而言，匈牙利都是进入这些周边国家市场的门户。如此一来，它也能成为中国企业进军欧洲的“桥头堡”。此外，匈牙利不仅是通往波罗的海地区、北欧以及巴尔干半岛的通道，同时也是连接东西方的桥梁。

比亚迪不仅将其汽车引入匈牙利，还将整个欧洲总部从荷兰迁至布达佩斯。为探寻这一举措为中匈合作开辟了哪些新空间，我就相关谈判事宜采访了（匈牙利）国家投资局局长。

It took many rounds of negotiations before BYD made the decision to establish its European headquarters in Budapest. This means 2,000 jobs with 90% of the employees holding higher education degrees.

What is being realized is something extremely important. If they want to manufacture cars for Europe, those cars will be developed thanks to a research and development center utilizing both Hungarian and European talent. If you look around in Hungary, it's hard to miss a car brand that just a few years ago most of us had never heard of. The Chinese company BYD is no longer just a name in the news, but it is right here, this time in the middle of a shop mall.

We are talking about one of the most innovative companies in the world. It is creating jobs in Hungary, which is hard to call a bad thing. And I believe that in doing so, we have truly placed ourselves on the map in terms of manufacturing and R&D, a position we genuinely deserve.

Customers as well as major Hungarian car dealers are increasingly trusting Chinese brands. To find out why, I visited one of the leading automotive companies in the region.

Auto Wallace is a central and eastern European automotive company operating across 17 markets, engaged not only in car sales but also in vehicle servicing and mobility-related services. It seems that although Wallace has already been convinced by Chinese electric vehicles, the Hungarian firm now distributes several Chinese brands including Nio and BYD as well.

比亚迪经过多轮谈判，才最终决定将欧洲总部设在布达佩斯。这一决策将创造2000个就业岗位，其中90%的岗位要求员工具备高等教育学历。

当前正在推进的这件事意义非凡。若比亚迪计划为欧洲市场生产汽车，这些车型的研发将依托一个融合匈牙利及欧洲本土人才的研发中心来完成。如今在匈牙利四处走走，很容易看到一个几年前大多数人都从未听过的汽车品牌——中国企业比亚迪已不再只是新闻里的一个名字，它如今就在这里，甚至进驻了商场。

我们谈论的是全球最具创新性的企业之一。它为匈牙利创造了就业机会，这绝非坏事。而且我相信，通过这件事，我们在制造与研发领域真正站稳了脚跟，这个位置是我们当之无愧的。

匈牙利的消费者及大型汽车经销商对中国品牌的信任度正不断提升。为探寻背后的原因，我走访了该地区一家领先的汽车企业。

奥托·华莱士（Auto Wallace）是一家中东欧汽车企业，业务覆盖17个市场，不仅从事汽车销售，还提供车辆维修及出行相关服务。显然，这家匈牙利企业已认可中国电动汽车，目前它还代理了包括蔚来（Nio）、比亚迪在内的多个中国汽车品牌。

Good thing BYD moved their HQ from Netherlands, in light of what just happened to Nexperia

鉴于安世半导体刚出事，比亚迪把总部迁出荷兰真是太明智了。

China should only invest in Hungary. The other EU countries are fickle

中国就该只在匈牙利投资，其他欧盟国家都太反复无常了。

Canada take note.

加拿大可得好好学学。

Hungary has earned the trust of China. Canada is still very much pro-USA. They rather keep the 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to protect what's left of the American auto industry, rather than help their canola farmers.

匈牙利赢得了中国的信任。而加拿大依旧极度亲美，他们宁愿对中国电动汽车维持100%的关税，去保护美国汽车业仅存的产业，也不愿帮本国的油菜籽农民一把。

Hongaria cepat tanggap tidak buang waktu kesempatan industri EV , edukasi + bahasa China budaya China

匈牙利反应很快，没有浪费电动汽车产业的发展机遇，还在推进中文教育和中国文化交流。

to the Han, the Hungarian are no stranger, just like the mongol, kazazk and russian,the hungarian once was a force in the silk road. the latin word of Hungarian is Ungaro, in Han 匈奴。 I think the Hungarian has the old wisdom to know they are at the forefront now ahead of all european countries.

对汉人来说，匈牙利人并不陌生——就像蒙古人、哈萨克人、俄罗斯人一样，匈牙利人也曾是丝绸之路上的一股重要力量。匈牙利人的拉丁语名称是“Ungaro”，在汉语里对应的就是“匈奴”。我觉得匈牙利人凭借古老的智慧，清楚自己如今走在了所有欧洲国家的前面。

别忘了向神屈膝，要记住——真正的神和祂所创造的万物不一样，所以得搞清楚现在讨论的是什么话题。

Trump thinks he can bully China into selling its pride by imposing tariffs and forcing China to make decisions that benefit Trump regarding rare-earth minerals and TikTok etc.. Trump in a panic to find (or steal) rare-earth deposits whilst attempting to force Chinese pride to sell TikTok to aid Trump's governing benefits. The irony being is that TikTok is an Achilles heel for the US government in that the US can't ban it domestically due to the fall out and cost to its own internal business and political values by user income requirement and retaliation in general voter confidence for the Trump government... Right now, it seems China holds all the politically advancing cards providing it maintains pride over Trump's blackmailing. China is storming ahead with tech, renewables, infrastructure, and its political policies are certainly making more friends globally than Trump.

特朗普以为靠加征关税就能欺负中国，逼中国放下尊严，还能迫使中国在稀土、TikTok等问题上做出让步。特朗普正慌着找（甚至抢）稀土矿，同时还想逼着有骨气的中国人卖掉TikTok，好满足他的执政利益。可讽刺的是，TikTok成了美国政府的“致命弱点”——美国国内根本没法禁掉它，因为禁令会给本土企业带来损失、违背其政治价值观（还涉及用户收入问题），更会打击选民对特朗普政府的信任，引发反制。目前来看，只要中国顶住特朗普的勒索、守住尊严，就能在政治博弈中掌握主动权。中国在科技、可再生能源、基础设施领域一路高歌猛进，其政治政策在全球赢得的朋友，肯定比特朗普多得多。

Chinese made the right decision to stay away from Netherland, a colonialist country that never change even in this de ocratic world. Case in point, dutch intellects still spreading hatred against liberated Asian people with their racist rubbish in college and in media

中国人做出了正确的决定，远离荷兰这个即便到了民 主时代也改不了殖民本性的国家。有例子为证：荷兰的知识分子还在大学里、媒体上散布种族主义垃圾言论，对已经获得解放的亚洲人民充满敌意。
