In the year of 2013，Czech economic situation was not so optimistic. The gross domestic product decreased in six consecutive quarters，clearly showing an economic recession. The political situation was marked by chaos and instability. The first direct presidential election was held in January. Before the new president took office，the outgoing President Klause was charged with treason over a controversial amnesty. PM Necas was forced to resign over corruption and spying scandal. Czech fell into government crisis after the caretaker government lost a vote of confidence in the Parliament. The Chamber of Deputies then passed a motion dissolving itself，and an early election was held. After gaining the most parliamentary seats，the Czech Social Democratic Party formed a centre-left government. High-level meetings between government leaders of China and Czech in 2013 promoted the bilateral relations.
