Shanghai suspends all ties with Prague in spat over Taiwan
SHANGHAI/TAIPEI (Reuters) - The Shanghai city government said on Tuesday it was suspending official contact with Prague after the Czech capital Prague signed a sister city agreement with Taiwan’s capital, Taipei, in the latest round of Chinese-Czech diplomatic tensions.
Czech President Milos Zeman has pushed ties with China. But the capital’s government has taken a much harder line, including Prague Mayor Zdenek Hrib’s refusal to eject a Taiwanese diplomat from a conference at the demand of a Chinese official, and his decision to fly the Tibetan flag at City Hall to highlight human rights issues.
Billions of dollars worth of Chinese investments in the country have also not materialized.

This is great that the Czechs, at least, those in Prague are recognizing Taipei. China has gotten so many countries to stop recognizing Taiwan as a separate country.
