2021年,捷克举行四年一度的议会大选,长期主导捷克政坛的“不满意公民行动2011”党败选,右翼保守主义政党SPOLU联盟上台执政。捷克经济有所发展,但仍未恢复到疫情前的水平。政府赤字与国内通货膨胀空前加剧。在安全问题上,捷克与俄罗斯关系因“弗尔贝季采”事件骤然紧张,进一步通过欧盟与北约的框架加强跨大西洋合作伙伴关系。捷克在新冠疫苗与经济恢复问题上依赖欧盟,并为2022年下半年担任“欧盟轮值主席国”一职做积极的准备。中、捷两国继续保持政府层面合作,双边贸易额进一步提升;然而,由于捷克在台湾问题上触及中国核心利益,中捷合作在多个领域受阻。
In 2021,the Czech Republic held its quadrennial parliamentary elections,which saw the defeat of the long-dominant ANO party and the rise of the right-wing conservative SPOLU coalition. Economy-wise,there was positive growth,although below the pre-pandemic level. Government deficits and domestic inflation surged. In security,Czech-Russian relations hit rock bottom as a result of the Vrbětice affair,causing the Czech Republic to strengthen its transatlantic partnership through the EU-NATO framework. The Czech Republic relied on the EU for vaccine supply and economic recovery and was actively preparing for its EU presidency in the second half of 2022. Throughout 2021,China and the Czech Republic continued to cooperate at the governmental level and bilateral trade also increased. However,as the Czech Republic violated China’s core interests on Taiwan,bilateral cooperation in certain areas were disrupted.
