Pavel has been blacklisted and is no longer in contact!
Now, there's no willingness to say much about Pavel. The focus now is on the Czech Republic behind Pavel. According to data, we import various machinery equipment and agricultural products from the Czech Republic every year, approximately around 40 billion US dollars. Now, a large number of Czech chambers of commerce have expressed that they will suspend, or even stop cooperation with the Czech Republic, completing an economic decoupling, and giving the Czech Republic a real pain.
However, the blogger is a bit skeptical about this. After all, local chambers of commerce may temporarily stop purchasing goods and products from the Czech Republic. But the Czech Republic may transfer these products to Slovakia, or other countries, and then export them back, which is hard to detect. Moreover, there is no explicit ban on initiating trade sanctions against the Czech Republic, which is the reality.
Still, it is hoped that everyone should not buy Czech products and materials if possible. Because this would encourage the arrogance of the Czech Republic. Although Pavel has already been blacklisted and is no longer in contact, whether to continue in economic relations is still unknown, there are no clear statements or regulations, and only rely on merchants' self-discipline to sanction the Czech Republic.
But it is hard to say what will happen, because merchants are profit-driven. If the Czech Republic lowers prices or offers big promotions, the chambers of commerce may continue to purchase Czech goods, so it is hard to say what will happen. In reality, our country indeed lacks the temperament of a hegemon, unlike the very domineering style of the United States.
Currently, when facing problems, we silently bear them, at most, we blacklist and stop contacting, which does not serve as a deterrent or intimidation to the opponent, but only makes the other party feel you are weak. However, regardless of that, blacklisting and refusing to maintain contact are just the first step. Whether to follow up later is still unclear.
