Chinese Ambassador Promotes Economy in Czech Media
On December 20, 2023, Chinese Ambassador to the Czech Republic Feng Biao (冯飚) conducted a written interview with Czech media outlet Naše Pravda (我们的真相), addressing China’s economic development achievements and foreign policy positions. The ambassador touted China’s claimed “5.2 percent GDP growth during the first three quarters” of 2023 as evidence of long-term growth momentum. Feng described China as “standing on the correct side of history” and promoted China-Czech cooperation opportunities, calling for expanded trade and tourism collaboration while criticizing “some Czech politicians” for engaging with Taiwan. The interview employed standard PRC diplomatic terminology about “mutual benefit and win-win cooperation” (互利共赢) and “constructing a community with shared future for mankind” (构建人类命运共同体).
