Hungary/China - flags out on the Danube for Chinese prime minister

            He was on a state visit to Hungary.  Which is bizarre as last time I was here, I ran into a state visit by Margaret Thatcher. 

Hungary is currently governed by a controversial right-wing populist leader, Viktor Orban. He has been accused by many in Hungary and internationally of undermining basic freedoms in his country and of inciting hatred against minorities,

He also refused to accept his country's share of migrants and refugees, thereby placing an extra burden on his European neighbours.

He has also been criticised for building close ties with Russia. 

In 1956, around 3,000 Hungarians were killed when they rose up against Moscow and Soviet rule.  Hundreds of thousands fled overseas, becoming refugees and migrants.
