Chinese newcomers to post-Communist Hungary have turned the country into a
hub of trade with Central and Eastern Europe. But they generally keep to
themselves and refuse to assimilate.
Anna Szalai
“I’m not racist, but I hate Chinese people and blacks.” This sentiment,
aired in the course of a survey on how foreign pupils are received at
Hungarian schools, has become all too familiar. While the number of new
immigrants to Hungary has steadily declined (they make up less than 2% of
the population), xenophobic attacks have doubled, chiefly targeting the
Chinese.
That is particularly true in Budapest, where illicit activities at the
Chinese market have brought the community into disrepute. High-tech machines
and electronics worth some $7.5 billion (.5 billion) account for 80% of
trade between China and Hungary. But the authorities are exasperated by the
goings-on in Kőbánya (a working-class Budapest neighbourhood), where
inspectors find irregularities at every Chinese market stall.
According to a ministerial agency set up to smooth out relations between the
two countries, however, there are actually only a small number of offenders
. And the Chinese in Hungary frown upon all illegal trafficking.
A burgeoning but insular community
Asian immigrants began streaming in shortly before the fall of the Communist
regime. After visa requirements were abolished between the two countries in
1988, the number of registered Chinese shot up from 0 to 30,000 in the
space of three years. In the final days of the old regime, immigrant workers
in Hungary began importing garments from China. At the outset, the
merchandise came in suitcases via the Trans-Siberian railway. Then, in the
early 1990s, it came in containers. Within a few years, Hungary became the
hub of Chinese imports to Central and Eastern Europe.
According to figures from the Immigration and Naturalisation Office, there
are 11,000 legal Chinese residents in Hungary at present. But the real
figure is estimated at 20,000, even 30,000, most of whom live in Budapest.
There is no Chinatown there, however, probably because in the 1990s the
Chinese mafia found it more prudent for them to spread out.

On the other hand, there is a conspicuous concentration of Chinese dwelling
around the Four Dragons market. Community members who don’t speak Hungarian
– and they are the majority – can take care of just about any business
they need to attend to there, where hairdressers, doctors, restaurants and
entertainment venues are thick on the ground. In 2002 the Chinese community
opened a bank of their own, the Bank of China – a tell-tale sign that they
are averse to mixing with the local populace.
Emigration as a means to an end
On the other hand, it is true that Hungary does not help them integrate. Two
years ago, parliament passed two immigration laws. But the country still
has no assimilation strategy – even though the European Union would be
prepared to fund a project to that end.
Would the Chinese make the most of such an offer? Not necessarily. They are
not really interested in other cultures or other societies. Though extremely
mobile, they adhere to their way of life wherever they go. Their paramount
value is money: even friendship is motivated by the quest for financial
success. Instead of learning the language and customs of their host country,
the most affluent have a chauffeur, an interpreter and a negotiator, and
send their children to English-speaking schools. Very few of them take
advantage of the bilingual Hungarian-Chinese schools set up in 2004
In fact, the majority regard Hungary as a transit country in which to make
their fortune, then return home or take off for the West. They always go
back to their native country to die, however. If that is impossible, their
ashes are sent to China.
Second-generation 'bananas'
A dozen Chinese organisations operate in Hungary. Rather than providing
services for immigrants, however, they serve as a communication liaison to
the Chinese state. On the other hand, they do put out newspapers – a dozen
of them, even in these hard times – covering life in the Chinese community.
Second-generation Chinese are less attached to traditions. So the Chinese
elders call these children “bananas”: yellow on the outside, but white on
the inside. | z****g
