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.

Y’know, I agree largely. But that doesn’t really change the overall trend. Vietnam etc. We, America absolutely had the term world police literally coined for us.

I think it was wrong for us to do much of that, as China policing other countries is also wrong. But I’m surprised and find it quite funny how many here are absolutely offended. But can’t offer a single rebuttal to the overall point. Because it’s absolutely true. So they just down vote circle jerk. Even though we pretty much agree. Just because I had the audacity to hold my country responsible too. Though a lot of it could be because of all the disingenuous ML circle jerking going on elsewhere. Criticizing the US and other Western Nations while defending the same actions elsewhere.
