捷克印太戰略與台灣

英文摘要
In recent years, China’s repressive and authoritarian behavior, both internally and externally, has elicited concern in Europe. As a result, many European countries have started to reconsider their approach towards China and acknowledge the necessity of strategically containing its ambitions in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond. The Czech Republic is one such country that has formulated an official Indo-Pacific Strategy to signal its strategic interests in the region. Prague has identified geopolitics, regional economics, and the established international order as areas of strategic importance, and has outlined its objectives for addressing these issues. In particular, Taiwan has been recognized as a critical partner for cooperation. As the strategic interests of Europe and China continue to diverge, and China’s perception in Europe deteriorates, Taiwan’s standing in the Czech Republic and Europe has been on the rise, thereby facilitating Taiwan’s diplomatic efforts on the continent.
