After Prague unilaterally ended its sister-city agreement with Beijing, the Chinese Embassy in Prague threatened the Prague city council with a statement.
"The city council of Prague must change its approach, accommodate current trends and progress in history. We urge the city to return to the correct path which promotes the development of bilateral relations. Otherwise, they will damage their own interests."
Prague Mayor Zdenek Hrib's Czech Pirate Party responded with a snide statement on their facebook page, saying "We know the Chinese regime likes to view its partners as vassals and does not like disobedience. However, we are a country of free people, with a democratic Constitution. We refuse to bow down to a authoritarian regime responsible for 're-education camps',plus participating in human trafficking and illegal trading of organs. Lastly, we would like to conclude with a picture that will be censored by the Chinese communist government."
A picture comparing Chinese President Xi-Jinping with Winnie the Pooh was attached with the statement.
