Czech Republic blocks Chinas Panda diplomacy and gets Pangolins from Taiwan instead

[tower9]

These are emotional outbursts from unimportant politicians. At the end of the day, Czechs get to stare at a couple pangolins instead of majestic pandas. Nothing else changes.

No need for you to know Prague, since it doesnt want chinese investment anyways.

I think what China doesnt understand is, that its pressure tactics dont work in Europe. As the article states, chinese behavior is seen as inadequate in european countries and leads to pushback. Same happened in Australia.

Btw Pangolins are way cooler than boring Pandas.


Better than braindead eastern puppets.

who said don't want? is it Greece?

What goods does the Czech Republic export? SKODA? P0rn film and prostitutes? Well, let's forget this country. Check the enterprises related to the Prague mayor and ask them to leave the Chinese market.

The Czech Republic is a satellite country of the former Soviet Union. The local culture of these satellite countries has been suppressed by the Soviet Union (the Czech Republic even had the February incident), so they must have a strong xenophobia.
The Czech Republic is a former communist country. Their people must have strong patriotism, which can easily be distorted into populism by right-wing politicians. With the cooperation of the right-wing media, it is easy for the Czech people to be hostile to the so-called "anti freedom ethnic groups" and "extreme religious groups" labeled by the right-wing media.
When dealing with such a country, the Chinese will clearly understand that we are actually dealing with a right-wing politician group.
Right wing politicians are usually driven by interests, they choose the right wing for electoral advantage, almost all of these politicians are spokesmen for the interests of some enterprises. These people talk about their nation and ideals, but what they want is business and money. So we just need to impose economic sanctions on them, for China, this is simple.
In fact, these people only believe in the laws and interests of the jungle, and their lack of practical governance experience will make them prone to misjudgment and arrogance. Only when we let them fully understand the difference between cooperation and non cooperation can we have real and effective communication with them.
We have rich exchange experience with these right-wing politicians, and we know them very well.

Their ambassador stormed out, so i guess it had a psychological effect. So sad.

Lesson for them: nobody tells Europeans what to do and what not. Its that simple. We stand above such things.

You are wrong, as Czech Republic already said that they have no interest in chinese tourists, they aftually want limit tourists. Thats what you dont get, in Europe we stand for what we see as right. And as it looks, China might lose its investment here in Greece as well.

Thousands of Greeks sued COSCO, which invested billions in the harbor of Piraeus. The current government in Greece starts to push back chinese influence and condemned human rights issues in China. The contract COSCO signed says, that COSCO loses all its investment in case it doesnt fullfill its investment promises within 5 years. So far those thousands of lawsuits and our government agency block at evry corner, progress gets slower and slower and its only 3 years left.

As it looks, the chinese will break at our bureaucracy.

Greece’s ambivalent romance with China

China has engaged in a long-term game regarding Greece, which Beijing still sees as a valuable hub in Europe, despite recent turnarounds, writes Philippe Le Corre.

For years China used to lend Pandas as PR tool to zoos all over the world. The same was planned for the zoo in Prague, but rising tensions between various european countries and China made Prague cancel the Panda project and instead now signed a contract with Taiwan for 2 pangolins.

Prague also ditched a city partnership with Beijing and made a partnership with Taipei.

The Broken Promise of a Panda: How Prague’s Relations With Beijing Soured (Published 2019)

When a new mayor of the Czech capital refused to toe the line on Taiwan, Beijing severed its sister-city relationship. Broader repercussions followed.

www.nytimes.com

P.s.: What i find badass, is how the mayor of Prague handled the issue. At the new year celebration he also invited an ambassador from Taiwan. The chinese ambassador tormed to the mayor and demanded that the taiwanese must leave. The mayor just said, that he does not send his guests away and adviced the chinese ambassador that he is free to leave, if he doesnt like the other guests.

who gives a ****

Greece as a country is friendly to China as they need money and their European buddies deserted them and asked them to tighten the belt

However this idiot from Greece is a complete loser, repeating each line of his daddy’s lie

Pangolin look fckn disgusting ,who even wanna see that? I get creeps taking small glimpse at that ugly thing.

Imagine having to receive a pangolin instead of a panda? shooting in ones's own foot? These minnow state of Europe are like the brainless henchmen of a redneck tribe leader(herein US) ,always desperate to prove themselves .

they need please USA daddy for protection against the big bad bear
There unfortunate too close to the bear

 

[lonelyman]

Thats nice for China. Too bad we dont care in Europe. Taiwan is a friendly country and we decide about that.



Pandas are low intelligence, are boring and as common as cows in zoos. Pangolins are cute, endangered and extremly interesting.

I chose the pangolin over a panda any day.

stupid fuxk, who cares about u think? If taiwan is a country, then why don’t u have embassy and ambassador on that island ?

All Cheap tricks to *** lick USA daddy and maybe get a few votes for fake bravado

Actually COSCO's investment in Piraeus is only 280 million EUR so far for a 51% stake. The revenue for Port of Piraeus is 150 million EUR per year and COSCO has invested since 2016. All the money has been made back already.
