President Milo\u0161 Zeman has said he does not consider it wise of the Chinese\nauthorities to boycott Czech cultural events in China, but that he\nunderstands their reason for doing so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking on a visit to Belgrade, the Czech head of state, who has made a\nbig effort to further Czech-Chinese ties, said that the mayor of Prague,\nZden\u011bk Hrib, had \u201csown the wind, and the whole country was now reaping\nthe whirlwind\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Zeman said the Prague mayor was clearly under the impression that he\ncould mould his own foreign policy rejecting the principle of \u201cOne\nChina\u201d at Prague City Hall, which was not the case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2016 the then Czech government, which under the Czech Constitution is responsible for moulding the country\u2019s foreign policy, set the ground for a more pragmatic policy line in relation to China signing an agreement on bilateral cooperation that pledged to respect the \u201cOne China policy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
