Prague mayor Zdenek Hrib said China was 'full of resentment' and was trying to influence Czech public opinion.

The mayor of Prague condemned China as an"unreliable partner" Sunday and told a German newspaper his city will sign a twinning agreement with Taiwan's capital Taipei.

The 38-year-old mayor, who has been running Prague since November 2018, sought to explain his administration's decision to cancel a"sister city" agreement with Beijing in October. Beijing views Taiwan as part of its territory and has vowed to retake the island one day, by force if necessary."That way, we have lost one partner but won another," he said.

"I call on all of you not to give up your values and personal integrity in the face of threats and blackmail," he wrote.
