Czech-China Relations: Future Possibilities and Policy Shifts in a Multipolar World Order 2.0

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

At the beginning of the new millennium, China became an economic magnet, assertively creating its first businesses in Czechia. Consequently, working political and economic relations developed between both countries. Since the first decade of the 21st century, pro-Chinese attitudes have gradually become the political mainstream in Czechia. Today, however, the relations between Prague and Beijing are cold. In 2023, Czech MFA announced revising the official foreign policy towards China. This chapter explores why Czechia has recently ceased building and nurturing its relationship with China, despite almost three decades of positive developments in Sino-Czech relations. To find an answer, the contrafactual analysis is used. This chapter concludes that with the highest probability, what caused the change and ruined the future of relations between Czechia and China is the “repolarisation” of the world order in which China builds links with Russia, both having different interests and visions from the collective West. While in the post-Cold War world, Prague was unstable in its foreign policy preferences and constantly varied between East and West, the Multipolar World Order 2.0 has forced Czech politics to decide where it stands. Prague opted for the West and the West understands Russia as an enemy. In Western and Czech views, any state, which seems to support Russia, can hardly be a partner country. Czechia is a small state with limited foreign policy options, and in the repolarised world, Prague must decide which side it takes.
