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.

If the number is more than 1, then according the Beijing, yes.

Also Hungary is close enough to everyone else that the occasional espionage agent can slip into the rest of Europe more easily
