| Summary: | The relations between China and Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC)
have experienced different phases in the last 25 years. China’s new strategy
toward CEE emerged in the last three years. It can be called the regional
approach. The so-called regional approach to deal with Central and Eastern
European countries can be regarded as a breakthrough in China’s policy
towards Central and Eastern European countries. 16+1 cooperation framework
has taken shape in the last three years. As China rediscovered different
CEEC, CEEC rediscovered different China, common interests have drawn China
and CEEC closer. The 16+1 cooperation framework is quite special, neither
group nor international organization can encapsulate its characteristics.
Equal partnership, loose institutionalization, comprehensive cooperation,
multi-functional arrangement and well-planned framework are main
characteristics. The 16+1 cooperation framework is a real novelty in
international relations. The emergence of 16+1 framework arises from both
common political will to cooperation and mutual demand for closer economic
links. The 16+1 framework has to face several challenges. |
