China has a number of countries in Europe, but Italy and Hungary are the most prominent, as these two countries have long had friendly relations with China.
Originally, they maintained friendly and cooperative relations with China, and the economies of the two countries were able to develop very quickly, but with the change of the world pattern, the attitudes of these two countries towards China have also begun to change slowly.
Italy obviously tasted the sweetness, but it felt that China did not give enough, so it turned to the arms of the United States and Western countries, while Hungary continued to maintain cooperative relations with China, and even came forward to speak out for China at critical moments.
Because of the different attitudes of the two countries, the situation of the two countries is also completely different, so what is the current situation of the two countries? Who has won such a disparity in attitudes toward China?
Two countries are exceptions to the EU
As far as the European Union is concerned, many of these countries have maintained very friendly cooperative relations with China, and in today's economic globalization, such cooperative relations are actually very normal.
But there are two countries that don't fit in with the rest of the country: Italy and Hungary, which also have a cooperative relationship with China, but it's significantly better than the rest of the world.
Because these two countries cooperated with China in a "special period" in Europe, the two countries were already very close to China at that time, and they were far ahead of other countries.
When these two countries first started cooperating with China, it was obvious that they wanted China to take a hand and lead these two small countries on the fast train of economic development, so that these two countries could also benefit from it.
If it can help the economies of other countries, then the mainland is naturally very happy, because this can not only help the two countries develop their economies, but also make a contribution to promoting economic globalization, which can be called killing two birds with one stone.
The mainland has always been very active in this kind of thing, so after these two countries made overtures to China, they expressed their desire to cooperate with China, and China quickly agreed at that time, because after all, such an opportunity is rare but not sought.
However, that time period can be called a "special period" for the entire European Union, in 2018, when the transition from Obama to Trump was in the middle of the transition, but in the eyes of the United States, the positioning of China and Europe can still be clearly distinguished by the United States.
The United States regards Europe as its most important ally, so it will naturally favor Europe and other countries in many aspects, which has almost become a common practice for the United States, but for Europe, there is naturally no free lunch in the world.
In fact, Trump's move is simply to "unite Europe and govern China", but not all EU countries eat the United States' set, Italy and Hungary are accidents in this process, they do not want to cooperate with the United States, and they turned around and found China.

I have to say that the ideas of these two countries are very wise, if they can see through the face of the United States at that time, then naturally more countries will give up cooperation with the United States, and the United States is mostly superficial help, and it will not play a role at all.
However, in this regard, China's policy is very enviable, these two countries obviously did not choose the wrong one, and directly enjoyed the dividends of cooperation with China, but later the attitude of these two countries towards China began to be completely "contrary".
Who has won after so many years
After the subprime mortgage crisis in Europe in August 2007, many countries faced economic collapse, and most European countries had a hard time, and Italy's economy fell to the bottom.
In addition, China happened to want to promote the "Belt and Road" initiative in Europe at that time, Italy was forced to extend an olive branch to China, and soon China and Italy were linked together by the Belt and Road Initiative.
On June 28, 2018, the "Belt and Road" Enterprise Matchmaking Conference between China and Italy was held in Italy, and since then, Italy's development has been on the fast track.
But in fact, Italy woke up a little late, as early as 2015, Hungary has joined the mainland's "One Belt, One Road" initiative, becoming the first European country to join the initiative.
After all, the "Belt and Road" was still in its infancy at that time, and it had just begun to try in Europe, and Hungary was leading the way in joining in.
Influenced by the mainland's "One Belt, One Road" initiative, these two countries can be said to have a very nourishing life in recent years, you must know that not every country can have such opportunities.
However, Italy has its own careful thinking, after eating the dividends brought by the mainland, Italy is not satisfied, still feels that China is not enough, and directly withdraws from the "Belt and Road".
I have to say that Italy has changed its face really quickly, to be honest, few countries will take the initiative to withdraw from the mainland's Belt and Road Initiative, which is obviously a mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation, but Italy wants to turn to the United States and Western countries.

The above content of the article comes from 2018-06-29 Xinhua News Agency Chinese and Italian industries discuss the "Belt and Road" docking cooperation
In an exclusive interview with the former deputy minister of economic development of Italy in early May, Italy's position can be understood very well, and the former Italian senior said bluntly that he hopes to return to the "Belt and Road" initiative, which did not take long for Italy to regret it.
And he also said that the Italian government wants to reduce its dependence on China, but its own companies want to cooperate with China.
On the other hand, Hungary's relations with China are really getting better and better, and even help China speak in the international community, and on April 24, the Hungarian foreign minister was interviewed by CCTV reporters, bluntly saying that Yellen's "overcapacity remarks" are false.
In fact, it is not only to help China stand on the diplomatic level, but also to favor China in many policies, as early as 2010 launched the "open to the east" strategy, since then the relationship between Hungary and China has gradually warmed.
Until now, the diplomatic relations between Hungary and China have gone further, and just two days ago, a special plane from the Chinese side even made a special trip to Hungary, which is enough to see the importance that the mainland attaches to it.
As an exception in Europe, Italy and Hungary can be said to have developed together with China, and exchanges have become increasingly close, but now the gap between the two countries is a little embarrassing.
Italy's participation in the mainland's "One Belt, One Road" initiative has already been on the fast track, but it still feels that China has not done enough, and even withdrew from the initiative.
Hungary, on the other hand, has always maintained friendly relations with China, for fear that its relations with China will be weakened, and it takes the initiative everywhere and has a very firm position, and will not be influenced by the United States and Western countries at all.

The mainland has always done everything for friendly countries, so Sino-Hungarian relations will naturally reach a new height, while Italy regrets it, and after withdrawing, it actually regrets it again, how firm it was when it withdrew, and how embarrassed it is to regret it now.
However, as long as Italy can recognize its own problems and correct its attitude, the mainland will naturally not be guilty of the past and work together with Italy to achieve a win-win situation.
