Hungary plans to donate land for a Chinese university campus in Budapest despite objections from the city’s mayor and rising European Union criticism over Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s pursuit of closer ties with the communist leadership in Beijing.
Hungary will donate state-owned land in the south of the capital to a foundation charged with establishing a satellite campus for Fudan University, according to a bill submitted to parliament on Wednesday.
