Czechs summon Chinese envoy over Taiwan row

The Czech foreign ministry said Monday it had summoned the Chinese envoy to Prague after Beijing threatened an opposition politician currently on a visit to Taiwan.

A delegation led by Czech Senate speaker Milos Vystrcil arrived in Taipei on Sunday, angering China which is trying to keep the island isolated from the rest of the world.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Monday that China would make Vystrcil "pay a high price for his short-sighted behaviour and political speculation", calling the journey a "provocation".

The Czech foreign ministry then said on its website that deputy minister Martin Tlapa had summoned the ambassador, expressing "fundamental disapproval" of the statement.

Czech Foreign Minister Tomas Petricek said earlier on Monday he expected China to explain Yi's words.

"Of course the journey has an impact on our relationships with China, but I think this has gone too far," he told journalists.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis has labelled the statement "impertinent and inappropriate".

Beijing said later on Monday that Vice Foreign Minister Qin Gang had recently summoned Czech ambassador to China, Vladimir Tomsik, and "lodged solemn representations".

Qin said Vystrcil's visit was a "serious violation of China's sovereignty" and vowed Beijing would "make the necessary response to protect its own legitimate interests," according to a statement from the foreign ministry.


- One China policy -

The Czech government accepts the One China policy under which Beijing considers Taiwan a part of its territory, with reunification by force an option, and does not send official delegations to the island.

But Vystrcil is a member of the right-wing opposition Civic Democrats and is not bound by the protocol.

His 90-member group, including politicians, entrepreneurs, scientists and journalists, will stay in Taiwan until Friday.

He will give a speech in Taiwan's parliament on Tuesday and will meet President Tsai Ing-wen, whose re-election earlier this year upset China as she views the island as a sovereign nation.

Vystrcil said his trip would fulfil the legacy of the late Czech president Vaclav Havel, a human rights fighter and dissident leader of the 1989 Velvet Revolution which toppled communism in the former Czechoslovakia.

Vystrcil is following in the footsteps of his predecessor Jaroslav Kubera, who died of a heart attack in January while planning the Taiwan visit.

After Kubera's death, Czech media published a letter stamped by the Chinese embassy in Prague and which threatened both Kubera and Czech companies intending to accompany him on the trip.

Ties between Prague and China suffered a blow last October when Prague city hall, run by a mayor from the anti-establishment Pirate Party, pulled out of a twinning deal with Beijing over its insistence on the One-China policy.

Prague mayor Zdenek Hrib, who is on Vystrcil's delegation, then signed a partnership agreement with Taipei in January, triggering outrage in Beijing.

Czech mayor writes letter calling a Chinese diplomat an 'unmannered rude clown' and to apologize for his 'pathetic diplomatic f-ck up'

‘You will not sh*t on us’: Czech mayor lambasts Chinese Foreign Minister after he threatens Czech speaker of dire consequences during his visit to Taiwan



After the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi threatened Czech Senate speaker Milos Vystrcil of dire consequences during his five-day trip to Taiwan, the mayor of the Reporyje district of Prague in the Czech Republic has written a strongly-worded letter to Wang.

The Chinese Foreign Minister had said, “The Chinese government and Chinese people won’t take a laissez-faire attitude or sit idly by, and will make him (Vystrcil) pay a heavy price for his short-sighted behaviour and political opportunism.” His statements came at the backdrop of the official State visit of Milos Vystricil along with his 89-member delegation to Chinese-controlled Taiwan.

The Czech Senate speaker is currently on a 5-day visit with 89 delegates to Taiwan. China refuses to identify Taiwan as a sovereign nation and has been trying to globally alienate the Taiwanese government.

Pavel Novotný demands apology from Wang Yi
Wang Yi’s comments, however, did not go down well with the Prague Mayor Pavel Novotný. In a letter addressed to Wang Yi, Novotný had demanded an apology from the Chinese Foreign Minister. A copy of the letter was posted on the official page of the Pavel Novotný.

Accusing Wang of ‘crossing the line’, he wrote, ” This was the last time you opened your mouth about the Czech Republic! Your behaviour has substantially crossed the lines of what is diplomatically acceptable. You dare to threaten the senate chairman with pay heavy price, you unmannered rude clowns!” The Prague Mayor demanded an apology from the Chinese Minister within 24 hours for his ‘shameless tweet’. “I want to have it in 24 hours on the table of Czech foreign minister,” Pavel Novotný reiterated.

I will make you pay a heavy price,” Prague Mayor tells Chinese Foreign Minister
Warning Wang of dire consequences if he did not mend his ways, the Prague Mayor stated, “Be ashamed and acknowledge that in future even a tone which would implicate threat towards representatives of our sovereign country I will make you pay a heavy price for bullying, and you won’t like it. You will not train us from position of strength and I warn you that reaction from our side will be same even if you had invested 14x more than our friends from Taiwan instead of 14x less.”

Well said Prague Mayor. The tiongs can fxxk off!

stupid of tiongs to think euros will pick yellow chinks over their fellow ang moh yankees, any day, any time, anywhere for any purpose whatsoever.

if tiongs were not so stupid, they would have aligned themselves strategically with Muslims of the world and worked actively with participants like Iran Pakistan and such to build an Islamic superstate connecting the entire Muslim world.

Together that Islamic superstate + Tiongkok can amount to well over 3 billion people and everything that comes with it. Land, location, resources, population, history, talent, big enough market, potential.

Harness that potential and you can counter the West sooooo easily.

If you are up against the West, you need to work with enemies of the West .

It's so straightforward yet it eludes the Tiongs.

What a bunch of morons.

Germany urges withdrawal of Hong Kong security law, seeks access to Uygurs in Xinjiang
Stuart Lau

1 September 2020
Germany urged China to withdraw the national security law imposed on Hong Kong and grant access for international observers to visit Xinjiang’s Uygurs on Tuesday, marking an adversarial end to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s European tour.

At a press conference after bilateral talks, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas also criticised Wang’s “threats” against the Czech senate president’s trip to Taiwan, a row that overshadowed Beijing’s intended focus on cooperation with the European Union’s biggest economy.

Germany, which currently holds the EU presidency, plans to organise a special summit with China’s president Xi Jinping later this month. Some other EU leaders are also expected to attend, in a bid to pile pressure on Xi to accept wider market access for EU companies as part of an EU-China investment deal still under negotiation.

Four of the five European countries Wang visited raised concerns publicly with him over Hong Kong, leaving the Chinese official on the defensive and repeating the nation’s need to curb Hong Kong independence movements.

Maas, however, dismissed Wang’s reassurance that Hong Kong’s freedoms were protected under the new law.

“You know that our concerns about the effects of the security law have not been allayed,” Maas said. “We want the ‘one country, two systems’ principle to be applied as fully as possible.”

Maas also called for Legislative Council elections to take place in Hong Kong “quickly and unhindered”. The elections, which were planned in September, were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Democratic opposition groups see the postponement as illegitimate.

The security law prompted the US to impose sanctions on Chinese officials and countries including Canada, Australia, Britain and Germany have suspended extradition agreements with Hong Kong.

The European Union agreed in July to limit exports of equipment to Hong Kong that could be used for surveillance and repression.

In his answer to reporters’ questions, Wang lashed out at the Bild newspaper, which last year hosted an event where Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong Chi-fung met Maas. The tabloid paper, Wang said, was full of “bias”.

“Whether Hong Kong or Xinjiang, both fall into the category of internal Chinese matters. We do not want any foreign interference in Chinese society,” said Wang.

Leading a protest by several hundred demonstrators outside the foreign ministry in Berlin on Tuesday, Joshua Wong’s political ally Nathan Law Kwun-chung called for more support from Berlin over the security law.

Why the Czech Republic is baiting China
Czech Senate President Milos Vystrcil's official visit to Taiwan has elicited threats and vitriol from Beijing

PRAGUE – “An act of international treachery” was how China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi described Czech Senate President Milos Vystrcil’s official visit to Taiwan this week.

Amid a broad downturn of Beijing’s relations with Europe, the trip is certain to impact more than just bilateral ties between China and what a Chinese tabloid mockingly called a “small, remote Central European country.”

In the highest-level exchange ever between the Czech Republic and Taiwan, Vystrcil will meet Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen on September 3.

Vystrcil billed his visit as a simple trip to a democratic state that shares the Czech Republic’s values, but for Beijing it’s a very public snub and an affront to its “one China” policy, which considers Taiwan as a renegade province, not an autonomous or even rival Chinese state.

Speaking from Berlin this weekend, as part of his damage-control tour of European capitals, Foreign Minister Wang warned that Beijing would retaliate forcefully against Vystrcil and possibly the Czech firms that made up his delegation.

“The Chinese government and Chinese people won’t take a laissez-faire attitude or sit idly by, and will make [Vystrcil] pay a heavy price for his short-sighted behavior and political opportunism,” he said.

It isn’t yet clear how China’s communist government may respond, but analysts argue Beijing has weakened its own position through threatening rhetoric.

If Beijing doesn’t follow through with its threats, other European officials could feel comfortable in making their own visits to Taiwan. If it does lash out, it will worsen already deteriorating relations with the Czech Republic, which will inevitably be viewed as the innocent party by other European governments.

Moreover, the mounting saga demonstrates that Beijing feels entitled to dictate where a senior, elected European politician can and cannot travel.

The Czech Republic “will cooperate with democratic countries, regardless of whether someone else wants it or not,” Vystrcil spelled out in a press release before his trip.

It arguably couldn’t come at a more difficult time for Beijing. Foreign Minister Wang has been on a tour of European capitals the past two weeks, which pundits described as an attempt at damage control as China’s relations with the continent has worsened since March.

This is partly due to China’s human rights abuses in Xinjiang province and its imposition of direct rule over normally autonomous Hong Kong, as well as Beijing’s disinformation campaigns and attempts to influence European internal affairs following the Covid-19 outbreak on the continent.

Over the weekend, the European Union’s top diplomat Josep Borrell used his most critical language to date to describe China’s rise. China, he wrote in an op-ed, is a “new empire” as dangerous to Europe as Russia, which in 2014 annexed parts of Ukraine.

“Russia, China and Turkey share three common characteristics: they are sovereignists on the outside and authoritarian on the inside,” he wrote, adding that to “peacefully negotiate and settle conflicts [with] these new empires, built on values other than our own, we too must necessarily learn to speak what I have called the language of power.”

Vystrcil’s visit to Taipei comes just a week after US Health Service Secretary Alex Azar traveled to Taipei, the first high-ranking American official to do so, and a fortnight after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo toured the Czech Republic.

Pompeo said during his trip before the Czech Senate that “the Chinese Communist Party’s campaigns of coercion and control” could be seen as a greater global threat than posed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

The US diplomat’s comment was clearly intended to resonate in the Czech Republic, a former communist state that was invaded by Soviet troops in 1968 intent on putting down the “Prague Spring”, a rebellion to liberalize the country and push back against Moscow’s hegemony in Eastern Europe.

It also comes as Czech-China relations have soured considerably over the last year.

Vystrcil’s predecessor, Jaroslav Kubera, who died in January, had arranged a visit to Taiwan last year. In a letter written to Kubera before his death, the Chinese embassy in Prague warned that if he went ahead with his plan then Beijing would respond punitively.

This was assumed to mean trade reprisals against Czech companies, especially the automobile giant Skoda. Months later, Prime Minister Andrej Babis publicly said that Beijing should replace its ambassador in Prague because of these warnings.

Leading the anti-Beijing charge has been the mayor of Prague, Zdenek Hrib. Last year, he canceled the capital’s sister-city relationship with Beijing and said he would replace it with an agreement with Taipei, Taiwan’s capital city.

Hrib, a member of the opposition Pirates Party, has also flown Tibetan flags from city hall and repeatedly criticized Beijing’s human rights abuses. Beijing retaliated last year by banning the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra from touring China.


In some ways, the Czech Republic’s rising hostility towards China is a domestic affair.

President Milos Zeman, who critics say is leading the country towards autocracy, has promoted alliances with Russia and China since taking office in 2013. In 2015, he offered up the Czech Republic as China’s “gateway to Europe.”

He later appointed as a special adviser Ye Jianming, a Chinese tycoon whose firm CEFC China Energy bought up several Czech firms, including the country’s historic Slavia Prague soccer team, before he was arrested in China in 2018 on corruption charges.

The Czech Republic’s largest protests seen since the dissolution of communism in 1989 took place last November, as demonstrators protested against what they consider the autocratic and corrupt rule of Zeman and Prime Minister Babis, one of the country’s richest men.

As such, anti-Beijing sentiment is frequently a counterpart to criticisms about increasing autocracy and corruption within the country’s political system, as well as the Czech Republic’s shift away from its historic Western-oriented and human rights-focused foreign policy.

Leading the charge has been the opposition Pirate Party, the third-largest party in parliament. Yet they aren’t alone.

Vystrcil is from the Civic Democratic Party (ODS), the country’s second-largest party in parliament, which sits in opposition, while other smaller opposition groups have also grown increasingly skeptical of China’s interests in the country.

In May, the Czech Senate voted 50 to 1 in favor of Vystrcil’s diplomatic visit to Taipei, a clear sign that the upper house thought it worth the apparent risks.

The Czech public is also mostly supportive of anti-Beijing initiatives. A Pew Research Centre survey from last year found that only 27% of Czechs have a favorable view of China, the second-lowest in Europe after Sweden.

A scathing editorial published on August 30 by the Global Times, China’s ultra-nationalist state-run tabloid, rebuffed Vystrcil’s visit to Taiwan as a mere “opportunistic stunt” intended to boost the politician’s popularity back home.

“Vystrcil is a rule-breaker who is trampling on diplomatic civilization. His gilding for his evil deeds is a manifestation of being a political hooligan,” the editorial said, before going on to call for Beijing not to be “riled” by his visit.

“China has gone through ups and downs in its ties with the US, so a Czech Senate speaker who comes to Taiwan to seek troubles is just a nobody,” it added, with apparent scorn for what it called “a small, remote Central European country.”

Exactly how Beijing will try to punish Vystrcil, who presumably has no personal or financial interests in China, is uncertain. One assumes Wang’s threat of retaliation also extends to others in Vystrcil’s 90-member delegation who visited Taiwan this week.

This includes several Czech businesspeople taking part in a Taiwan-Czech investment forum starting on August 31, organized by the American Institute in Taipei.

If so, this would further alienate the Czech politicians still seeking close ties to China. China-Czech Republic trade was worth nearly US$30 billion last year.

Czech Foreign Minister Tomas Petricek was publicly critical of Vystrcil’s trip to Taiwan before he left and openly stated that the Czech government didn’t support it.

Yet, following the direct threats by his Chinese counterpart at the weekend – which Vystrcil blasted as “interference” in Czech internal affairs – Petricek was forced to respond forcefully against Beijing and has said he would summon the already controversial Chinese ambassador for an explanation.

“I expect that the Chinese side will explain [the remarks by Wang] to us. The trip has of course an impact on relations with China, but I think that this has crossed the line,” Petricek was quoted as saying by local media.

Beijing, no doubt, is also wary of how Vystrcil’s trip looks to other European politicians, especially amid calls mainly from opposition parties on the continent for their governments to develop closer relations with Taiwan, with some even calling for their governments to openly oppose the “one China” policy.

Vystrcil’s visit this week is thus a litmus test for other European politicians. If Beijing doesn’t try to punish Vystrcil then other European leaders might be buoyed to make their own travel arrangements to Taipei. However, if it does try and fail, it will show the futility behind what observers see as Beijing’s new “coercive diplomacy.”
