Baráti segítség és önerőre támaszkodás. Magyar geofizikus expedíció Kínában 1956–1962
Friendly Aid and Self-Reliance: The Hungarian Geophysical Expedition in China, 1956–1962

Summary/Abstract: A group of Hungarian geophysicists played a pivotal role in exploring and discovering oil deposits in the Songliao Basin, which later became known as Daqing, the largest oil field in China. The article examines this eminent example of Sino–Hungarian cooperation against the backdrop of the radicalization of Chinese politics and growing tensions between the Soviet Union and China. Taking the Hungarian geophysicists’ expedition as an example, the study explores the historical setting of early exchanges as well as the daily practice of scientific and technological interactions between China and Hungary, one of the closest East European allies of the Soviet Union.
