- Abstract
China’s economic rise and its increasing participation in international affairs have made China play an important role in contemporary international relations. Since President Xi Jinping took office, China has actively promoted major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics and adjusted its foreign policy. Among them, Cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European Countries (also known as “17 + 1” Cooperation) as an important part of China’s overall cooperative diplomacy, as well as summit diplomacy, are bright spots in Xi’s diplomacy in the region. In this context, the relations between the Czech Republic and China continue to advance. High-level visits between the two sides are frequent and a strategic partnership has been established; Pragmatic cooperation has become the main theme of the development of economic and trade relations between the two countries, with China becoming the Czech Republic’s largest trading partner outside the EU and the Czech Republic becoming China’s second-largest trading partner in Central and Eastern Europe. From a long-term perspective, it is a potential option for China-Czech relations to make full use of the “17 + 1” Cooperation framework to gradually promote the development of the strategic partners between the two countries.
