The Chinese–US Trade Confrontation and Its Impact on Hungarian National Security

Abstract

The Chinese–American trade war is intensifying. Its impact can be felt not only in the two states’ relations but – more and more spectacularly – in the interstate relations too. The tense economic policy situation generates new conditions in the international relations that the global community is not prepared for, since a lot of unprecedented event may occur. Referring to the Hungarian national security, several new challenges could emerge paralelly with the widening Chinese–American commercial conflict.
The frames of the new situation can be and have to be determined in order to ensure national security. It is worth being on guard with regard to the challenges of the new security environment. The new, unfavourable international relations that might take shape could cause significant problems in the national economy due to unpreparedness.
