Czech Chamber of Deputies Chairman Tomio Okamura is visiting China with the aim of strengthening trade and tourism ties. A key goal is the re-establishment of direct flights between Shanghai and Prague. However, doing business in China presents challenges, including difficulties with legal enforcement and recent issues such as the detention of a Czech businessman currently imprisoned there. The visit occurs amid strained EU-China relations, illustrated by a recent substantial fine levied against Chinese e-commerce platform AliExpress by the European Commission for unfair practices within the EU. Okamura's trip seeks to navigate these complexities while pursuing economic opportunities. It remains to be seen how these existing tensions will impact the success of his efforts.
