Czech national security advisor Kromonicek told the media on January 14: "Czech is planning a shift in its China policy. There may be a change in Sino-Czech relations this year. It's unreasonable for Czech to stay away from the Chinese market, and it needs to return in a way that is safe and beneficial. The relevant shift depends on pragmatic visits by Czech officials to China. The possibility of Babiš visiting China cannot be ruled out. I believe the center of the world economy has shifted to Asia, and political influence will follow. Europe needs to make a smooth landing into the Asian century. Differences between China and Czech Republic on the Taiwan issue should not become an obstacle to bilateral exchanges..."
[Cunning] Czech's move finally recognizes reality! Saying they want to return to the Chinese market, longing for the benefits of the annual trade volume of 42.98 billion yuan between China and Czech Republic, but still holding onto the Taiwan issue, forgetting the previous setbacks in bilateral relations, and forgetting that Asia once held half of the world's economy and now is returning to the Asian century. Once relying on the 16+1 cooperation to gain huge profits, now wanting to have it both ways, treating the Chinese market as an ATM and using the Taiwan card as a pledge of loyalty. Europe wants a soft landing? First, weigh your own weight. On one side is the market of the world's second-largest economy, and on the other is the big pie drawn by the United States. This kind of opportunistic politician's calculation is likely to fail completely at the western end of the Eurasian continent!
