“…Before this incident, Slovakia had never noticeably expressed support for human rights in China, unlike some other European countries. 75 However, the attacks by the proChina activists reminded Slovaks of their historical experience of 1968, when Czechoslovakia was bullied by its big neighbor, the Soviet Union. In the present troubled case, Chinese diplomacy faced the problem of coping with democratic standards in a host European country in which a small group of people dared to demonstrate a minority opinion that was fully in accordance with Slovakia's fundamental values and legal system.…”

“…Upon recognizing the PRC on October 4, 1949, Czechoslovakia ceased its relations with the Republic of China (ROC, also known as Taiwan) the next day. Fürst and Pleschová (2010) comment that the support for the PRC came about because of economic interest, Bpolitical romanticism^favoring China, and a deficiency of any negative historical experience of China.…”

“…Among CEE countries, analysts have observed that the Czech Republic has a rather inconsistent approach towards the PRC (Fürst and Pleschová 2010). It is inconsistent in the sense that, economically, the Czech Republic has welcomed economic engagement with China while, politically, some politicians, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and the Czech media are known to be critical of China's human rights record.…”

China has increased its investment and influence in Central-Eastern European (CEE) countries through the B16 + 1^framework in 2011 and the One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiatives in 2013. Given China's rising influence, this paper explores civilian views of China in the Czech Republic. Using survey analysis of 663 respondents in 11 Czech universities, we find that our respondents' impression of China is neither negative nor positive. By contrast, they do not have a good impression of Russia. Their impression of Japan is the best. Our respondents recognize that China is the most influential player in Asia. Albeit divided, there is a tendency for respondents to believe that China will surpass the USA as the world's leading power, but they cannot reach consensus on whether such development will be peaceful or not. Our survey also finds out that, while the Czech government wishes to get closer to China politically and economically, citizens are somewhat divided on various dimensions of issues concerning China. This is a pattern that continues from the past. The 2013 change of political landscape in the Czech Republic does not seem to have altered many of the societal responses to China.

“…According to Jánošová [1], international trade is an important factor of economic growth. The definition of international trade in the study of Fürst and Pleschová [2] is that the term "international trade" refers to exchange of goods, services and capital across international borders. The authors believe that carrying out this type of trade is much more complicated process than at the national level.…”

International trade is an important factor of economic growth. While foreign trade has existed throughout the history, its political, economic and social importance has grown significantly in the last centuries. The objective of the contribution is to use machine learning forecasting for predicting the balance of trade of the Czech Republic (CR) and the People´s Republic of China (PRC) through analysing and machine learning forecasting of the CR import from the PRC and the CR export to the PRC. The data set includes monthly trade balance intervals from January 2000 to June 2019. The contribution investigates and subsequently smooths two time series: the CR import from the PRC; the CR export to the PRC. The balance of trade of both countries in the entire monitored period is negative from the perspective of the CR. A total of 10,000 neural networks are generated. 5 neural structures with the best characteristics are retained. Neural networks are able to capture both the trend of the entire time series and its seasonal fluctuations, but it is necessary to work with time series lag. The CR import from the PRC is growing and it is expected to grow in the future. The CR export to the PRC is growing and it is expected to grow in the future, but its increase in absolute values will be slower than the increase of the CR import from the PRC.
