Move over, Silicon Valley—Hungary’s youth are turning East for their tech fix! 🇭🇺🤖 According to Levente Horváth, former Hungarian Consul General to Shanghai, Gen Z in Hungary is all in on China’s cutting-edge innovations. From AI startups to high-speed rail, they’re vibing with tech that’s reshaping global connectivity.
“Hungary’s opening to the East isn’t just political—it’s cultural,” Horváth told CGTN’s Shen Shiwei. Having spent over a decade bridging Hungary and Shanghai, he’s seen firsthand how TikTok trends and e-commerce giants like Shein are winning Hungarian hearts faster than a bullet train. 🚄✨
But it’s not just about gadgets. The Hungary-Serbia railway—a flagship China-Europe project—is the real MVP here. Horváth calls it a “game-changer” for Eurasia’s economy, slashing trade times and sparking collabs between Budapest and Beijing. Think of it as the ultimate group project… with GDP growth as the final grade. 📈
So why the hype? For Hungary’s Zoomers, China’s tech isn’t just cool—it’s practical. From green energy solutions to smart cities, they see a blueprint for their future. And hey, who needs Western media myths when you’ve got influencers livestreaming from Shenzhen?
