Úvod Tři desetileti hospodářske expanze udelal z Činy jednoho nejvlivnejsich hráce mezinárodniho spolecenstvi. Pryc jsou doby, kdy se vsichni posmesne divali na Činu skrz prsty, jako „ten chudý rozvojový stát“ s levnou pracovni silou. Ekonomický vzestup přinesl Čine vliv a moc, se kterým je nutno do budoucna pocitat. Navzdory ekonomickým úspechům a ohromnemu technologickemu, spolecenskemu vzestupu celi Čina stále mnoho problemů. Po vstupu do Svetove obchodni organizaci si svet naivne domnival, ze s ekonomickou liberalizaci přijde i proces demokratizace. Opak se stal pravdou, z Činy se stává vice uzavřený stát, jehoz vláda má absolutni kontrolu na veskerým tokem informaci smeřujici ven i dovnitř. Mrazivá skutecnost spocivá ve spolecenskou akceptaci permanentniho sledováni ze strany státu. Mezi lidmi a státem tak vznikla zvrácená forma „spolecenske smlouvy“. Činský lid vymenil svoje soukromi a svobodu za ekonomicke a materiálni výhody. Zcela opomijeji fakt, ze na západe oba tyto dva pojmy mohou vedle sebe koexistovat, bez toho, aby jedna druhou vylucoval. Jako kazdá jiná velmoc, i Čina usiluje o kus sveta, ve kterem můze uplatňovat svoji moc a vliv. Na rozdil od Ruska je vsak Čina mnohem trpelivejsi a mene agresivni. Dokáze mnohem lepe obratne vyuzit nove metody, ktere ji umozni vytvářet „dokonalý obraz“ Činy. Jedná se o postupnou zmenu narativu. Proti agresivnimu útocnikovi lze okamzite zasáhnout. Ihned je vsem stranám zřejme, kdo a co bylo cilem útoku. Problem lze rychle identifikovat a popsat. Mnohem horsi je ale celit nekomu, kdo se na prvni pohled tváři jako „přitel“, ale za zády úskocne hledá způsoby, jak Vám uskodit. Problematice cinskeho vlivu ve svete se jiz venuje mnoho odborniků a think-tanků z celeho sveta. Já se naopak budu venovat spise cesko-cinske otázce. Tato bakalářská práce se bude zabývat problematikou cinskeho vlivu ve vnitřnich zálezitosti ČR pocinaje od ekonomicke sfery, vnitropolitickem uspořádáni az po akademickou půdu. 6 Při hledáni relevantnich informaci jsem zjistil, ze nejvetsi mnozstvi dat ohledne cinských politických a ekonomických aktivit pocházi vetsinou z analýz a working paperů různých think-tanků, nezávislých výzkumných ústavů, akademických spolků a bezpecnostnich expertů publikujici v nekterých z mnoha svetových medii. Vztahy s Činou jsou z celosvetoveho pohledu velmi dynamicke. Co plati nyni, nemusi platit za půl roku. Z tohoto důvodu zádná knizni literatura, nedokáze tak rychle reflektovat dane události a pod mozstvim nových informaci můze vznikat nepřehledná mlha zkresleni. Nutno take zminit, ze podstatná cást informaci o aktivitách Činy máme k dispozici z vysetřovacich zpráv a analýz západnich zpravodajských sluzeb, popřipade vysetřovacich komisi. Obzvláste ze Spojených států, kde je cinská aktivita vůbec nejrozsáhlejsi, co do poctu a intenzity operaci. Vysvetleni je jednoduche, Spojene státy, jako stále svetový lidr je nejvetsim cinským rivalem, je tedy zcela logicke, ze nejvetsi úsili a energii bude cinská vláda vynakládat práve na územi Spojených států. Ve svetove

  • Turning the Tide on Dirty Money Why the World’S Democracies Need a Global Kleptocracy Initiative
    GETTY IMAGES Turning the Tide on Dirty Money Why the World’s Democracies Need a Global Kleptocracy Initiative By Trevor Sutton and Ben Judah February 2021 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Contents 1 Preface 3 Introduction and summary 6 How dirty money went global and why efforts to stop it have failed 10 Why illicit finance and kleptocracy are a threat to global democracy and should be a foreign policy priority 13 The case for optimism: Why democracies have a structural advantage against kleptocracy 18 How to harden democratic defenses against kleptocracy: Key principles and areas for improvement 21 Recommendations 28 Conclusion 29 Corruption and kleptocracy: Key definitions and concepts 31 About the authors and acknowledgments 32 Endnotes Preface Transparency and honest government are the lifeblood of democracy. Trust in democratic institutions depends on the integrity of public servants, who are expected to put the common good before their own interests and faithfully observe the law. When officials violate that duty, democracy is at risk. No country is immune to corruption. As representatives of three important democratic societies—the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom—we recognize that corruption is an affront to our shared values, one that threatens the resiliency and cohesion of democratic governments around the globe and undermines the relationship between the state and its citizens. For that reason, we welcome the central recommendation of this report that the world’s democracies should work together to increase transparency in the global economy and limit the pernicious influence of corruption, kleptocracy, and illicit finance on democratic institutions.

Many of the Chinese government’s united front activities are entrusted to a specific organization: the Communist Party’s United Front Work Department (UFWD), which handles a broad range of policy portfolios ranging from ethnic and religious affairs within China, to seeking influence over ethnic Chinese ​ communities and governments in foreign countries. However, in a much broader sense, the “united front” also represents a series of political strategies and tactics, employed by a variety of Chinese state-affiliated organizations, to pursue the interests of the Chinese Communist Party throughout the world. In our first article, Anne-Marie Brady helps to frame the issue by examining the nature of “united front work,” and the language employed in reference to these activities.

  • Capital, Political Vulnerability, and the State in China's Outward Investment
    Going Out or Opting Out? Capital, Political Vulnerability, and the State in China’s Outward Investment Meg Rithmire Working Paper 20-009 Going Out or Opting Out? Capital, Political Vulnerability, and the State in China’s Outward Investment Meg Rithmire Harvard Business School Working Paper 20-009 Copyright © 2019, 2021 by Meg Rithmire Working papers are in draft form.

Domestic Capital in China’s Internationalization Going Out or Opting Out? Capital, Political Vulnerability, and the State in China’s Outward Investment Meg Rithmire F. Warren McFarlan Associate Professor Business, Government, and International Economy Harvard Business School Abstract: How do state-business relations interact with outward investment in authoritarian regimes? This paper examines this question in the context of China’s rapid transformation into major capital exporter. While most political economy scholarship focuses on firms’ economic profiles to discern preferences toward international openness, this paper shows the importance of domestic political status and specifically business’s vulnerability to the state in explaining the behavior of firms as they invest abroad and the state’s reaction. I present three types of domestic capital that differ in economic and political logic as they go abroad: tactical capital pursues political power and prestige, competitive capital pursues commercial goals, and crony capital seeks refuge from the state and asset expatriation. The Chinese regime’s approach to outward investment, which I characterize as mobilization campaigns adjusted over time and combined with targeted domestic regulation, endeavors to treat these different kinds of capital differently, deploying and disciplining tactical capital, enabling competitive capital, and constraining crony capital.
