According to Orbán, "current developments are in favour of Asia and China - be it in terms of the economy, technological development or even military power (...) changes are also taking place in international institutions, and we all know that whoever creates international institutions has an advantage. Therefore China has quite simply created its own. We have the BRICS, One Belt, One Road, and we have the Asian Investment and Infrastructure Bank, whose development resources are several times greater than the development resources of all the Western countries".
"Asia, or China, is standing in front of us in full superpower gear," he said.
"It has a civilisational creed: it is the centre of the universe, and this unleashes inner energy, pride, self-respect and ambition. It has a far-reaching plan, expressed as: to end the century of humiliation, that is, to make China great again, to paraphrase the Americans. It has a medium-term agenda: to restore the dominance in Asia that existed before the West came. And it has a counter to the main US weapon. The soft power weapon of the US, which we call universal values. Now, the Chinese simply laugh at these and say that this is a Western myth, and in fact the talk of universal values is a philosophy hostile to other non-Western civilisations, and from that point of view there is some truth in it," he explained.
