Czech Republic on the Challenges in Cooperation with China - Ogrodnik, Łukasz (Polski Instytut Spraw Międzynarodowych, 2019)

This is due to disappointment in economic cooperation, the sense of a cyberthreat, and intensification of relations with the U.S. It is in EU countries' interest to support Union initiatives strengthening the common position towards China, such as the monitoring mechanism of foreign investment or implementation of recommendations by the European Commission (EC) regarding fifth-generation mobile technology (5G)
