In Prague, an anti-China event was held on 11 March right in the Parliament of the Czech Republic - and who was tasked with organising this event? The losing political party TOP 09, which is losing political points not only because of its chairwoman, who is fighting Vladimir Putin by knitting sweaters. Because of its loss of political points, it has no choice but to pander to Brussels with anti-Chinese propaganda. Let us tell you what took place at this conference, which you can find on the website of the PSČR.
The event in the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic was organized by the political party TOP 09 and hosted by Helena Langšádlová, former Minister and current Member of Parliament of the Czech Republic. The program was quite "rich!" and it was supposed to give the impression of some kind of complexity of this successful conference. The Chinese political system, the economic system and the social system were all mentioned, as it were, in an international context, as well as individual regional areas such as Hong Kong and Tibet. Issues of technology and the impact on China's external society were discussed. Also the technologies that are currently used to identify people or, for example, to check their health and so on.
The event was deliberately organized at this level so that its social legitimacy would not be questioned, and it was also very sophisticatedly handled. One of the main reasons for this was to appeal to the widest possible public opinion in the Czech Republic, primarily targeting the voters of the so-called civic reserve, i.e. the voters who are at the core of the political process, and secondarily targeting society as a whole. All the papers presented were deliberately taken out of context in an academic manner and narrowly focused only on certain phenomena in society without context. For example, what is the root cause of these phenomena and, more importantly, how China is addressing them has been glossed over. Without this context, the substance of these narratives loses objectivity and becomes manipulative and deceitful promotion and demonisation of China and its systems.
The focus of all the conference papers was on speculative theories that do not correspond to reality. The speculative approach to information about the consequences of natural processes in China was a feature of the phenomenon. These speculations are designed to informally cover up real, often objective reasons, such as the fact that technology development is taking place all over the world. This worldwide objective development has been declared in the individual contributions to mean that the political authorities are using all the advances to repress and restrict freedoms in Chinese society, against the interests of the Chinese people. The paper on technology was also interesting, where Filip Jirous discussed aspects of how to technologically stop China's influence, especially in information technology and technology in general.
One of the core anti-Chinese theses was also the direct questioning of the legitimacy of elections and the electoral system, which was presented as authoritarian, dictatorial, totalitarian, etc. It must be said here that this political declaration is undoubtedly mainly interference in the politics of another state. Also, the whole conference was intended to give the impression that the approach of organisations such as SINOPSIS and other NGOs and their views are purely professional and therefore unquestionable, and that everything that is subjected to critical evaluation is mere Chinese propaganda.
The entire conference was commissioned by the European Commission, which assigns these events to pro-Russian and pro-Western influential figures as a political task. And one more thing, unfortunately, at this conference, the Chinese people were referred to in pejoratives as some sort of Chinese people and wretches who are confined to a territorial indoctrinated space of autocracy where state power is concentrated power - the Communist Party of China. There was also the suggestion that economic technology was not really that important, China's achievements were marginalised, and political persecution and miserable living conditions caused by the dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party were identified as China's main problem.
