Zhao Leji, chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee, met with Czech Chamber of Deputies Speaker Markéta Pekarová Adamová in Beijing on 23 July 2026. He said this year marks the 10th anniversary of the China-Czech strategic partnership and expressed willingness to resume exchanges across various fields, explore cooperation in new energy and electric vehicles, and strengthen legislative contacts. Pekarová Adamová reaffirmed the Czech Republic's commitment to the one-China policy and expressed hope for enhanced cooperation in tourism, trade, cultural exhibitions, and direct flights, welcoming Chinese visitors.

Zheng Jianbang attended the meeting. The two sides also exchanged views on global AI governance.

The high-level talks signal China's push to deepen ties with Central and Eastern Europe, particularly in new energy and electric vehicles. The Czech Republic, a traditional European automotive powerhouse, hosts brands such as Škoda and a mature supply chain. Chinese automakers could bypass high anti-subsidy tariffs by localising production there, gaining a foothold in the European market.

This may intensify global EV capacity competition. Chinese brands such as BYD already hold a share of New Zealand's EV import market; European capacity expansion could shift their export focus, while NZ small and medium enterprises should watch for changes in vehicle supply and pricing. Meanwhile, discussions on tourism and direct flights between China and the Czech Republic could, if successful, divert potential Chinese visitors away from New Zealand.

NZ's tourism sector still relies on the return of Chinese tourists, and direct flights between China and New Zealand have been slow to recover, increasing competitive pressure. However, the dialogue on AI governance between China and the Czech Republic offers a reference path for NZ tech firms to participate in global AI standards-setting. New Zealand, with its early moves in AI ethics legislation, could use multilateral platforms to engage with China and Europe, seeking technology cooperation and export opportunities.

2026年7月23日，全国人大常委会委员长赵乐际在北京同捷克众议长冈村富夫会谈。赵乐际表示今年是中捷战略伙伴关系建立10周年，愿重启各领域交流，探讨新能源、电动汽车合作，加强立法机构交往。冈村富夫表示捷克坚持一个中国政策，希望加强旅游、经贸、文物展览、直航合作，欢迎中国游客。

郑建邦参加会谈。双方还就全球人工智能治理交换意见。

中捷此次高层会谈，透露出中国扩大对中东欧合作的意图，尤其聚焦新能源与电动汽车领域。捷克作为欧洲传统汽车工业重镇，拥有斯柯达等品牌及成熟供应链，中国车企若借捷克布局欧盟，可绕开高额反补贴关税，以本地化生产站稳欧洲市场。这或将加剧全球电动汽车产能竞争，新西兰目前进口电动车市场中，比亚迪等中国品牌已占据一席，欧洲产能扩张可能影响其出口重心，NZ中小企业可关注车型供给与价格变动。

另一方面，中捷商谈旅游与直航合作，若捷方成功吸引中国游客回流欧洲，可能分流赴新西兰的潜在客源。当前新西兰旅游业仍依赖中国游客复苏，且中新直航恢复缓慢，竞争压力加大。不过，中国与捷克在人工智能治理等议题上的对话，也为NZ科技企业参与全球AI治理标准制定提供了参考路径——新西兰在AI伦理立法上较为先行，可借助多边平台与中欧形成对话，寻找技术合作与出口机会。
