Nov 2024
The Indicators have been classified by the stage of the influence process at which they occur. Some Indicators correspond to exposure to PRC influence, e.g. the presence of Confucius Institutes. Others test for pressure – such as visa denials to academics or journalists. Finally, some Indicators capture the effect of PRC influence, such as national policy changes in favor of PRC interests.
The individual Layer scores for each country are tallied and displayed via rankings.
Exposure * Exposure assesses the conditions that make the target country vulnerable to PRC's influence, e.g. in terms of economic dependence, or the receiving of some form of benefit. | 2024 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Ranking | 87 / 101 | - |
| Level of Score | 21 % | - |
Pressure * Pressure measures the actions that the PRC directly or indirectly exerts over the target country in order to change the behavior of people in the target country, e.g. in terms of threatening economic punishment to provoke/prevent a political decision. | 2024 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Ranking | 25 / 101 | - |
| Level of Score | 28 % | - |
Alignment * Alignment evaluates the degree of accommodations the target country makes to the PRC, and the actual policy changes and impacts on the target country. | 2024 | 2022 |

The late President of the Senate Jaroslav Kubera was harassed over his plans to visit Taiwan. The pressure was channeled through Czech politicians including president Zeman, and business (mainly PPF), but also the PRC embassy in Prague. The pressure was incredibly strong and President Kubera died before traveling to Taiwan, reportedly due to the tremendous stress, just after seeing a PRC ambassador. The event had a substantial impact on the further development of Czech politics, as it led Kubera’s successor Miloš Vystrčil to double-down on his intention to visit Taiwan. The PRC officials harassed Hsiao Bi-khim, the then Taiwanese vice president elect, who was visiting Prague in March 2024. While she was escorted from the airport to the hotel, the PRC military attaché was chasing her in a car and nearly caused the car crash. Although she is a Taiwanese politician, she was about to meet Czech politicians and was receiving the protection from Czech police, so this can be interpreted as a form of harassment.
