“…Given that CEEC countries are relatively small compared to China, it was pointed out that a regional approach involving China on the one hand and the 17 CEEC on the other is the right way to institutionalize cooperation [1][2][3]. A series of studies highlighted the need for the 17 CEEC to diversify in terms of foreign trade and investment, which encouraged them to strive for closer economic relations with China [4][5][6]. A study by Stanojevic, Qiu and Chen (2020) [7] examined export competition between the EU15 (so-called old EU members) and China in the 16 CEEC markets (Greece was not a part of the cooperation mechanism at the time).…”

This study examines trade relations between the 17 Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC) and China, which are members of the 17+1 Cooperation mechanism. Given that some CEECs are not members of the European Union, while others are, this study aims to examine the impact of EU membership on their trade relations with China. The analysis of the data shows that countries that are EU members tend to have a larger volume of trade, as well as a larger range of products that are traded. In contrast, higher growth rates of trade between non-EU CEEEs and China could indicate that EU membership is hampering Sino-CEEC trade. Finally, econometric analysis, based on the gravity model, suggests that EU membership has a positive and significant contribution to Sino-CEEC trade.

“…On one hand, some scholars tend to be more optimistic, believing the resultant economic development and connectivity will help stabilize China's border regions, secure its energy supplies and allow it to extend its strategic influence (Wuthnow, 2017). Šteinbuka articulated the synergies and divergences of the various formats of cooperation between China and European countries (Šteinbuka et al , 2017). Wilson (2016) analyzed that both Russia and China have launched ambitious regional projects, promoted as means of strengthening linkages with neighboring states; the author also located this development in the context of Russia's and China's extended foreign policy goals, and its implications for Russian–Chinese relations.…”

PurposeSince One Belt One Road (OBOR) was proposed, Singaporean sides have reacted differently. Based on the case of Zaobao, the authors develop the theoretical frame including international relations, agenda setting and media framing, analyzing the construction of textual materials on OBOR and its influencing factors.Design/methodology/approachIn this sense, this paper attempts to use Zaobao's texts on OBOR from 2015 to 2017 as textual materials, by using the discourse analysis method and combining the theories of international relations, agenda setting and media framing, to explore the following two relevant questions: How does the mainstream Chinese media of Singapore construct OBOR issue? What factors influence this kind of construction?FindingsThe study finds that agendas setting on OBOR are diversified in the purpose of supporting official position and meeting audiences' expectations, which are constrained by the factors such as international situations, regional strategies, national interests and domestic politics. The authors learn more details about hidden and vague thoughts on OBOR from all sides in Singapore through this discourse analysis.Originality/valueIn summary, the academic community has a certain foundation for the study of the cognition of the “Belt and Road” initiative. However, compared with the other countries' research on the Belt and Road cognition, the research on Singapore is insufficient. Singapore is an important hub for the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. At the same time, as a leader of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), it has a strong appeal and influence in other ASEAN countries. It has also played a pivotal role in building the “Belt and Road”. However, the “Belt and Road” initiative has been proposed and implemented for five years. The research on Singapore's cognition and reaction of the “Belt and Road” initiative is still insufficient. Therefore, an in-depth study of Singapore's cognition of the ‘Belt and Road” initiative has significant academic and applied value. This paper attempts to explore the construction of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative by Singapore's official media to make up for the shortcomings of existing research.

“…The rising collaboration of the Chinese and CEE nations including CR has spawned far-reaching criticism by other western nations who thinks that it not a healthy relation. However, Šteinbuka, Muravska and Kuznieks [7] concluded that China-CEE cooperation does not contradict the EU investment plan, and that none of the two parties is aiming to abate the union. They believed that the EU to which CR belong and China have a great interest in each other's top development plans.…”

The objective of the contribution is to introduce a methodology for considering seasonal fluctuations in equalizing time series using artificial neural networks on the example of the Czech Republic and the People´s Republic of China trade balance. The data available is the data on monthly balance for the period between January 2000 and July 2018, that is, 223 input data. The unit is Euro. The data for the analysis are available on the World Bank web pages etc. Regression analysis is carried out using artificial neural networks. There are two types on neural networks generated, multilayer perceptron networks (MLP) and radial basis function networks (RBF). In order to achieve the optimal result, two sets of neural structures are generated. There are generated a total of 10,000 neural structures, out of which only 5 with the best characteristics are retained. Finally, the results of both groups of retained neural networks are compared. The contribution this paper brings is the involvement of variables that are able to forecast a possible seasonal fluctuation in the time series development when using artificial neural networks. Moreover, neural networks have been identified that achieve slightly better results than other networks, specifically these are the neural networks 1. MLP 13-6-1 and 3. MLP 13-8-1.
