Yes, I agree with you about Russia. I understand that Orban was making the point about economic growth, so China earned its right to be on his list. Russia, however, is an economic bubble based on artificially high oil prices, ready to collapse.
But I can defend Orban’s larger point: that the liberal democratic model of economy has stopped producing growth, at least stopped producing it domestically, and that economic nationalism is necessary for the economic salvation of all national economies.
On that, I also agree with Orban, and enjoyed the speech.
