From the article:
Hungary has officially signed an agreement with Fudan University, Shanghai – one of China’s most prestigious institutions – allowing work to begin on a branch campus in the Hungarian capital Budapest.
But the signing comes amid a raging row over taxpayer funding of the campus and claims by opposition Hungarian politicians that it will encroach on Budapest’s own plans for a big increase in accommodation for local students.
