#3Orban used EU money to take total control of the country (media, poor voters). If EU lets China come into Hungary, it will backfire for the whole EU in my opinion.

Sure, and Orban would have never been able to have so much power if EU wouldn't give so much free money to him without verifying where that money goes.

I read in the newspaper today that the EU issued an ultimatum to Poland: get rid of the unlawful special court that deems itself above the EU law, or face repercussions. Finally they're growing some teeth.

However, after Googling for an online source, I came across this article about another ultimatum for justice reform in 2017, and things only got worse after that :-/

It’s hard to issue these ultimatums when in Germany the constitution is supreme too and the courts would and do take it over EU law when there is conflict.

How terrible that local laws, written and enacted by the voting population they preside over, take precedent over international laws written and enacted by legislators several times more distantly removed from the population.
Hopefully the UN gets enough funding to occupy the roles of state and municipal police soon. Then we can free the common man from the tyranny of local government.

I'm not defending his actions as I have no horse in this race, but he seems to have the support of his country - why should the EU be above that?

Cue the Orbanites saying how the EU wants to interfere in "matters of their country"
This (and the events of January 6th) are a good reminder that the law is worth the paper it's printed on if no one acts on it.
