Anyone who wants to visit the campus of the controversial offshoot of Fudan University in Budapest in the future may reach it via „Dalai Lama Street“. Or the „Free Hong Kong Street“. But you can also walk along the „Street of the Uyghur Martyrs“ in the direction of the university. Because the Hungarian capital and its 9th district have renamed the streets around the as-yet undeveloped area – making it clear to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s government what they think of the project. A delicate manoeuvre: Hungary is dependent on Beijing’s goodwill in view of large Chinese loans. And when it comes to the Dalai Lama the leadership is known for its vindictive reactions.
