On December 18, local time, Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán stated in an interview that the world order is undergoing profound changes. The root causes stem from both the rise of the East and the decline of the West. Orbán indicated that since China's accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001, the economy of Asia has been developing rapidly, and the East is becoming strong; in contrast, the West is heading towards decline. As Asia's contribution to the world economy increases, this influence will eventually be reflected in military and diplomatic capabilities, gradually altering the world. (CCTV News)
