Abstract

The goal of the present text is to collect evidence of the rising Chinese interests and activities in Central Europe (CE) and to analyse the political, security, societal, and economic effects of Chinese engagement in Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. The study concludes that after one decade of optimism about mutual relations, Czechia, Poland, and Slovakia are disillusioned by the Chinese engagement, and are sobering up from the ‘Chinese dream’. Among CE countries, only Hungary has still maintained rhetoric about special relations between Budapest and Beijing and about positives resulting from China’s investments. Today, CE countries rather than developing a working partnership with China use the ‘China Card’ within the EU and towards EU authorities to get what they want.
