Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing Monday, days after a controversial visit to Moscow and another to Kyiv that the far-right European leader described as a “peace mission.

Mr. Orban said his visit to Beijing was part of a “peace mission” for Ukraine. But both leaders want to offset Western power.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said he would go to Washington after discussing a Chinese peace plan for Ukraine in Beijing. Hungary began its six-month EU presidency in July.
