China’s Belt and Road Initiative and the 16+1 Platform: The Case of the Czech Republic
Original language description
This chapter examines China’s activities in Central and Eastern European Countries (hereinafter referred to as ‘CEECs’), with a specific reference to the 16+1 platform, during a time of the emerging Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). In Europe, this initiative has been looked upon with suspicion and referred to as a ‘divide and conquer’ strategy, aiming to potentially disrupt the workings of the European Union. The argument presented here is that the cooperation between China and the CEECs has not been a one-sided activity. Some countries did not hide their enthusiasm for forging closer partnerships with China and embracing the China-led 16+1 platform, as well as BRI. The Czech Republic is a case in point; however, it still questions the benefits of opening up to China and what the real outcomes of promised investments domestically and in the wider region are. In response to the criticisms, the Chinese leadership has reassured the Europeans that China is acting peacefully under a win-win premise for all parties involved and that the activities within the 16+1 take in consideration the existing projects, such as China-EU cooperation and the EU infrastructure projects.
